Course Packages: What's Included

Institutes courses are available as packages that bundle study materials together. Here’s what each package type includes.

How It Works

• Online Learning with Exam Prep Package — Digital course materials, practice quizzes, and assignment tools. No printed book.
• Recommended Package — Everything in the Online Learning package, plus a printed course book (where available).

Common Misunderstandings

• Not all courses offer a Comprehensive Package — AINS, AIC, CAS DISC, and most newer courses are online-only with no printed supplement option.
• Programs that offer printed supplements include CPCU, ARM, AU, and AFSB Comprehensive Packages.
• Exam registration is not included in any course package — it must be purchased separately.

What’s in the Online Platform

• Reading materials and assignments
• Practice quizzes (QuizMe)
• Assignment Assistant (select courses)
• Simulated Exam access
• Progress Tracker

How Do I Order a Printed Book for a Course I Already Have?

If you already bought the Online Learning package and want to add the printed book, look for the printed-book option on the course’s product page on TheInstitutes.org. It’s offered for CPCU, ARM, AU, and AFSB programs. If your program is online-only (AINS, AIC, CAS DISC, most newer courses), there is no printed book to purchase separately.

If a printed option should be available for your program but you can’t find it, contact Customer Success. Bulk orders for an entire team can also be placed via the Bulk Order portal — see Ordering for Your Team (Key Person / Bulk Orders).
