Who is the instructor for the course?

The ILScorp LLQP program was developed by Bob Ransom, who is also the instructor.

Mr. Ransom has served the financial services industry for over 30 years, first as a trust officer and then as a stockbroker and head office manager in the advanced marketing department of Ontario-based life insurance companies, in addition to having formal training in law. Over the years he has earned his CLU, CHFC and CFP designations and has served on the Panel of Examiners for the CFP exam for the Financial Planning Standards Council.

For the past 12 years Mr. Ransom has run an independent consulting firm, serving the insurance, securities and banking industries in Canada, primarily through the development and delivery of industry-wide certification courses and seminars dealing with matters of insurance and estate planning. His clients include the Insurance Institute of Canada, the Institute of Canadian Bankers, the Canadian Securities Institute and Advocis.

Specifically, Mr. Ransom developed and wrote most of the original Advocis LLQP program, as well as editing the rest of the course and developing testing materials (including Exams). In addition to his work with Advocis, Mr. Ransom developed much of the LLQP program used by the Insurance Institute of Canada (IIC) and edited/rewrote portions of the LLQP course offered by IFIC.
