CPIA Program

CPIA-PIA-Logo

PIA is pleased to announce an outstanding opportunity for you to receive hands-on, how-to training that you can immediately put to work back at your office! Insurance Success Seminars lead to the CPIA designation and are developed by the American Insurance Marketing and Sales Society (AIMS). The courses are designed for company and agency sales managers, high-performing producers, new producers who want to jump start their careers, and anyone who wants to ignite a sales fire within their organization.  The CPIA designation also qualifies as an approved E&O Loss Control Seminar by Utica National Insurance.

Can't attend all three sessions as scheduled? Each session is approved for 7 hr. CE credit and serves as a stand-alone course that provides valuable information for your agency. While you must attend all three sessions to earn the CPIA designation, you DO NOT need to take all three sessions in order—simply catch the course you missed the next time it is offered!

The AIMS Society, in partnership with PIA of MN, is currently offering of the CPIA Seminar Series.

Having proper insurance along with implementing proper control and company policies can keep an organization from financial ruin.

Understanding cyber risks, both property (first-party) and liability (third-party) and providing the proper insurance protection is critical for all organizations.
