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.
