About CIC & CISR
| The Society of CIC is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to professional insurance education for over 30 years. The CIC Program is designed to meet the practicing insurance professional's need for technical knowledge in all areas of the insurance industry. There are more than 50,000 participants in the CIC Program; over 20,000 hold the prestigious CIC designation. CIC institutes include Personal Lines, Commercial Casualty, Commercial Property, Life and Health and Agency Management. Offered across the US and its territories throughout the calendar year, each institute consists of two and one-half days of intensive classroom instruction followed by a rigorous essay examination. The examination need not be passed to recieve the continuing education credit for the seminar. The successful completion of five examinations within a five year period earns the Certified Insurance Councelor (CIC) designation and the right to attend the James K. Ruble Seminars. Each CIC attends an institute of James K. Ruble Graduate Seminar annually to maintain the designation. Becoming a CIC is a pledge to meet the challenge of lifelong professional continuing education. Practical and relevant knowledge gained keeps the CIC more competitive in meeting the changing needs of clients and the industry. |
| The Society of Certified Insurance
Service Representatives is a not-for-profit organization founded in 1986
by a group of highly dedicated Certified Insurance Councelors in Kansas.
For more than a year, the program was conducted in Kansas, Missouri and
Michigan. In 1987, the Society of Certified Insurance Councelors, in Austin,
Texas, assumed responsibility for the CISR program as part of its intent
to create a comprehensive and enduring system of education for all segments
of the industry. The CISR Program joined CIC institutes as a vital part
of The National Alliance for Insurance Education and Research.
The CISR Program is first and foremost a practical program, stressing freedom from E&O claims and the understanding and analysis of risks and exposures. The CISR program is for anyone who wishes to develop their technical skills regarding the various insurance products we offer our clients. The CISR program is comprised of five one-day courses including: Agency Operations (AO), Insuring Personal Residential Property (PR), Insuring Personal Auto Exposures (PA), Insuring Commercial Casualty Exposures (IC) and Insuring Commercial Property Exposures (IP). An examination is administered at the conclusion of each course. Those successfully passing all five examinations within three years earn the CISR designation. The exam need not be taken, however, to obtain the continuing education hours shown for each seminar. Topics have been selected and developed around national standards applicable to all states. The Program, however, has inherent flexibility to allow for each state's unique insurance coverage and regulations. CISR's may also take the Advanced Lecture to update their designation which changes on an annual basis. |
