Certified Insurance Counselor (CIC) 

The CIC program provides an advanced level of study for both company and agency personnel. This is the most practical insurance education program on the market today. Each institute includes two and one half days of classroom instruction, followed by an optional examination. After successfully passing each of the five exams, participants are conferred as CIC designees. To earn the CIC designation, all five institutes must be completed within five calendar years after passing the first examination.

Practical, hands-on information taught by insurance practitioners makes the Certified Insurance Counselor program the agent's choice for continuing education! The CIC program consists of five institutes - Commercial Property, Commercial Casualty, Personal Lines, Agency Management, Life and Health.  We also offer the James K. Ruble Graduate Seminars (for those who have already achieved the CIC designation).
