Certified Insurance Service Representative

The Certified Insurance Service Representative (CISR) designation empowers outstanding individuals to provide exceptional account management and customer service.

Today’s organizations live and die by their customer service—so be great at what you do! If you are thinking about expanding your skills, only one program should be on your radar—CISR.

Why? CISR courses are known for preparing front-line professionals to analyze risks, policies, forms, and claims data and communicate that understanding clearly to their clients, carriers, and colleagues. There are no prerequisites for taking courses or enrolling in the CISR Program. But if you:

    • are an employee of an agency, insurance company, or insurance-related business,
    • are an agent, account manager or executive, customer service representative, agency or company manager, or
    • are a new representative or agent,

you’ll benefit from attending CISR courses which set the standard for training in technical expertise, productivity, responsibilities, and client relationships.

Earning the CISR designation is tangible proof of your commitment to a superior level of customer service—for your clients, as well as for your organization.
