CISR-CIC Cross Credit Program

We are excited to announce a major new benefit for CISR participants and designees: the CISR-to-CIC Cross Credit Program.

At the program’s launch, more than 3,200 CISR participants and designees qualify for this opportunity. We will be communicating directly with those individuals within the next 10 days to guide them through the opt-in process. In addition, we will provide you with a list of eligible participants in your state, so you can see exactly who in your state(s) qualifies and be prepared to support them.

This new policy allows risk and insurance professionals who have completed CISR Commercial Casualty I and II courses to receive full course credit for CIC Commercial Casualty course—at no cost. This creates a seamless pathway for motivated CISR designees and participants to accelerate their journey toward earning the prestigious CIC designation.

Key Highlights for Qualified CISR Participants/Designees:

  • Credit for CIC Commercial Casualty (saving time and effort).
  • Only 4 CIC courses remain to earn the CIC designation (to be completed within five years). For those who have already begun their CIC journey, it means one less course to take—positioning them that much closer to the finish line of earning their CIC.
  • Only one cross credit may be applied toward the CIC designation.
  • No cost to opt in—just a quick online process.

Why This Matters:
This initiative honors the investment participants and designees have already made in their CISR education and gives them a meaningful head start toward CIC. It not only accelerates their professional growth but also enhances the value you can offer them as a trusted partner in their career development.

Importantly, there is a precedent for this kind of pathway. Participants in the CRM (Certified Risk Manager) Program have previously been able to apply course credit toward the CIC designation. The success of that option has demonstrated the value of creating flexible, participant-centered routes that maintain rigor while helping professionals advance faster. The new CISR-to-CIC Cross Credit Program builds on this proven foundation.

Coming Soon – CISR Personal Lines Cross Credit
We are also excited to share that a second cross-credit opportunity will launch shortly. Participants who complete any two of the following three CISR personal lines courses—Insuring Personal Auto, Insuring Personal Residential, and Other Personal Lines Solutions—will receive credit for the CIC Personal Lines course.

We anticipate communication about the new personal lines option will be sent to qualified participants by mid-October and we will provide another update at that time along with the list of eligible participants from your state(s). This expansion provides even more CISR designees and participants with an accelerated path to achieving their CIC designation.

Together, we can empower more professionals to achieve their goals while strengthening the reputation and reach of our designations.  Please feel free to contact us with any questions.  tunderwood@aiia.org or 205.326.4129, ext. 105.
