CIC logoThe CIC program has been the insurance industry’s premier proven source for practical, real-world education since 1969. To earn your CIC designation, you must attend five intensive three-day institutes and pass comprehensive essay exams which immediately follow. All institutes must be completed within a five-year period. You are then required to attend either one regular institute or a Ruble Seminar (offered to only CICs) each year thereafter.

*IMPORTANT: Proctor Requirement Reinstated for CIC & CISR Exam-Takers
As of February 1, 2021, The National Alliance has reinstated the requirement for a disinterested third-party proctor to monitor students taking online exams for designations including CIC and CISR. (They had relaxed the requirement due to COVID-19.) Exam takers must submit proctor information in their National Alliance profile account prior to taking the exam. There is a new “Proctor” button in the course history section for this purpose. Full details and how-to videos are available on The National Alliance website.
