HARTFORD, Conn.-( Business Wire )-

The Travelers Companies, Inc. (NYSE: TRV) announces a new partnership with RegEd’s CEAuthority to offer agents access to an extensive library of insurance continuing education courses. Committed to helping independent agents achieve success, Travelers is providing easy access to professional development courses that are relevant for their business needs. Through this expansion, Travelers is also offering agents the opportunity to take advantage of a designated free course and reduced pricing on CEAuthority’s property casualty library. Agents can gain access to these new choices through Travelers’ AgentU education platform.

“Travelers recognizes that it is sometimes difficult for agents to find relevant continuing education classes needed to meet local state requirements,” said Nancy Fitzgibbon, Vice President of Enterprise Training at Travelers. “We’re excited to offer easy access to resources that support and promote our agents’ professional development efforts.”

This enhancement builds upon last year’s successful launch of AgentU, a comprehensive training program custom designed to meet the educational needs of Travelers’ agency partners. RegEd’s CEAuthority is an industry leader in insurance continuing education and license renewal services.

“We are pleased that we can provide a solution to the continuing education challenge our agents face,” said Patrick Kinney, President, Field Management at Travelers. “Offering agents a designated free course and discounted access to the property casualty library available through CEAuthority certainly emphasizes how much Travelers values them, and further, it shows our commitment to helping them increase sales and grow their business.”
