HOW DO I REPORT MY HOURS TO THE ALBERTA INSURANCE COUNCIL?

You log into your AIC portal and input the course numbers into your CE Summary Report. Check the summary report to make sure you met all your requirements.

You do not need to send the certificates in but keep them in case you are audited.
