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.

To attend a CIC institute, you must be a licensed agent, broker or solicitor; or have at least two years of full-time experience as a practitioner in insurance or risk management; or have served for at least two years as a full-time insurance or risk management faculty member at an accredited college or university.
