Insurance is our business. This gives us an edge in preparing
students for the demanding requirements of the
American
Institute for Chartered Property/Casualty Underwriters
(AICPCU) and
Insurance Institutes of America
(IIA) national exams. The professional designations
conferred by the AICPCU/IIA represent an individual's commitment to
and standing within the insurance industry. Those who earn these
designations can significantly enhance their career opportunities.
The Center offers comprehensive programs designed to provide
candidates with the knowledge and skills they need to pass the
national exams administered twice yearly by the AICPCU/IIA, attain
the AICPCU's
Chartered Property Casualty
Underwriter (CPCU) and the IIA's
AMIM, ARe,
ARM, and INS designations.
CPCU/IIA students at the Center receive thorough preparation for
the exams, and often have higher pass ratios than the national
norm.
The Center also has a policy that permits students who do not pass
the exams to re-take courses free of tuition charges the next
time the course is offered, provided that the student attended
at least 80 percent of the classes.
About the
CPCU/IIA designations
