Certified Insurance Counselor

Certified Insurance Counselor

In the United States, Certified Insurance Counselor (CIC) is an insurance agent professional certification designation. The CIC certification program was started by the National Alliance for Insurance Education & Research in Austin, Texas in 1969. Some CIC courses can be used to fulfill state continuing education requirements for licensing as an insurance agent.

The CIC program is for agency owners, producers, agents, brokers, and agency and company personnel. To be eligible to attend CIC institutes and obtain the CIC designation, an individual must:

  • be a licensed agent, broker, adjuster, or solicitor, or
  • have at least two years of full-time experience in the insurance industry or as a risk management practitioner, or
  • have served as a full-time insurance faculty member at an accredited college or university

As of December 2012, there were 30,986 active CIC designees.

Famous quotes containing the words certified and/or insurance:

    Faith means belief in something concerning which doubt is still theoretically possible; and as the test of belief is willingness to act, one may say that faith is the readiness to act in a cause the prosperous issue of which is not certified to us in advance.
    William James (1842–1910)

    Women hock their jewels and their husbands’ insurance policies to acquire an unaccustomed shade in hair or crêpe de chine. Why then is it that when anyone commits anything novel in the arts he should be always greeted by this same peevish howl of pain and surprise? One is led to suspect that the interest people show in these much talked of commodities, painting, music, and writing, cannot be very deep or very genuine when they so wince under an unexpected impact.
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
