Experience advanced insurance training with the CIC education program.

If you need CE credits, desire an advanced education experience and have the drive to succeed in a demanding profession, the CIC program is for you. The CIC program—presented exclusively by PIA in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut—is a nationally acclaimed continuing education designation developed by the National Alliance. Its course content and practical application make it the most essential program for both agency and company personnel. Plus, CIC institutes are approved for CE credit in all states.

You may complete the institutes in any order and need not attain a passing grade on the exam before continuing on to the next institute. You have five calendar years from the time you pass the first exam to complete the program. You are encouraged to complete all five to earn the designation, though this is not required (the exams are optional). Once achieved, the designation requires an annual update.

The five CIC Institutes consist of Personal Lines, Commercial Casualty, Commercial Property, Life & Health and Agency Management.

Now choose 5 of 9 CISR classes to earn the designation.

Customers won't forget an account manager or CSR who has the CISR designation— because they deliver service that is truly noticeable. The CISR program is a CE credit-approved, nationally recognized designation program that takes a practical, hands-on approach to learning. To earn the CISR designation, you must complete five of the courses and exams within three calendar years following the year in which you successfully complete the first exam. However, anyone is welcome to attend the classes without taking the exams.

To earn the CISR designation: The CISR designation program includes 9 course offerings. To earn the CISR designation, participants will need to pass exams for 5 of the 9 courses. However, anyone is welcome to attend the classes without taking the exams. There is no special order in which courses must be taken. If you are more familiar with a given topic, you may want to begin with that course.
