Thank you!! currently i am a claims adjuster, did my adjuster license exam for my state and passed!! , now looking into AIC and then CPCU after to grow in my career.
I literally just completed my CPCU designation yesterday evening. I did AIC about 7/8 years ago. Also did AINS. Looking forward to seeing what career opportunities CPCU brings me. Lots of folks are more dedicated than I. Took me 10 years to complete my CPCU.
The ROI on designations is outstanding. Especially since most companies will cover the cost under tuition reimbursement. I have 6 designations (CPCU, AIC, ARM, ARe, ASLI & SCLA) and I'm working on another (RPLU) currently.
@@russram210 I can't say. Getting the CPCU opened the door for me to get a supervisor's job. It was 24 years ago. I believe the designations were a big part of how I was able to jump into Medical Malpractice claims where I am today.
@@adnylas9 I learned a lot along the way. Having the designations set me apart from the competition, but it was a combination of hard work and knowledge that helped me advance. It wasn't just because of the designations.
@@tommurin Thank you for your response. As a seasoned adjuster, what advice can you offer me as someone new to the industry? I’m currently in the process of obtaining my AIC and Xactimate certifications. Based on your experience, what are my chances of securing a staffing position or working with firms? I’ve found it challenging to get an opportunity with just one license, which is why I’m focusing on acquiring my AIC before applying again.
Excellent video. I am doing my SCLA now which I am enjoying. I have learned a lot so far. I am also doing my AIC but has paused because I do have confidence issues. The SCLA allows you to take a test and then if you fail allows another try (I have not failed yet) but the AIC/CPCU, if you fail you are out the money. My company will not reimburse you if you fail. What do you recommend so that you guarantee to pass each test of the AIC and CPCU. I have heard to take the practice exams like a hundred times but would like your input. Thanks!
I started a position as Underwriting Assistant in a reputable company, graduated as Risk Management and Insurance major. I just started studying AINS before CPCU. Does getting AINS designation itself increases my chance of career advancement (promotion) to Associate Underwriter before starting CPCU? Give me your thoughts!
AINS is a good warmup for CPCU but it probably won't get you much by itself. I'd jump right on CPCU if the company allows that. I was forced to do AINS first before they'd pay for CPCU so that's the way I did it.
@@InsuranceNerds Thanks for the tip! After completing my AINS and showing my progress of CPCU to the company, do you I think I can at least negotiate for a transition to UW after a year of experience in the company?
Hi! I’ve been in insurance for 4 years now.... (3 in sales and 1 in claims call center... I recently got promoted to a property assistant position outside of call center.) Wondering if I should go back for my MBA or CPCU? Thoughts?
@@InsuranceNerds i was just teasing. ;P But im about to start my CRIS then move on to the granddaddy that is the CPCU. Been in the construction E&S space for a number of years now. So it is overdue.

Whats your average income increase after getting designated

Hi, i am new in the industry. May i ask how these designations have helped you in your career and making more money?

Such positive energy and good information!❤
I'm so glad I decided to finally watch you video. So inspiring
Very Inspiring Story Tony!!!

In my experience if you've passed the practice test 3 or 4 times in a row you'll pass the real text.
@@InsuranceNerds Thanks I appreciate the response! I will make sure I do this.

Maybe

The answer is almost always CPCU first: insnerds.com/cpcu-vs-mba-8-keys-choosing/
And I’d be happy to discuss on a zoom call: chatwithtony.com
definitely CPCU, but please know that its the harder option
Why can’t you say the word “designation”. Lol
psssshhhh doesnt even have a CRIS
Nope, I’ve never worked on the construction insurance side. How was your experience with CRIS?
