CISR Designation
What is Certified Insurance Service Representative (CISR)?
An inspiring professional faculty, nine ONE-DAY courses to choose from, a curriculum that's tailored to your region--all these benefits make the CISR Program a truly superior education opportunity. To earn the CISR designation, you must complete any five of the nine courses and pass the five exams within three years*. To keep your designation, an annual update is required.
*excluding Dynamics of Service and William T Hold Seminars
All CISR courses are approved for state CE credit. An optional exam is given at the end of each course for those seeking the designation.
The CISR program is offered through the Risk & Insurance Education Alliance (formerly The National Alliance).
Arrangements can also be made to bring CISR courses in-house to your agency or another desired location. Contact the IIANC Education Department at education@iianc.com or 888-275-8907 for questions or more information.
