The International Center for Captive Insurance Education (ICCIE) has made changes to its continuing education (CE) guidelines for graduates of its Associate in Captive Insurance (ACI) designation.
According to ICCIE, the changes should make it “more convenient and easier” for ACIs attending approved sessions at captive conferences to earn more credits.
One of the changes was to remove the limit to CE credits that can be earned from approved conference sessions, which previously was four of the 12 credits per renewal window.
There were a number of financial alterations to the guidelines, including a new payment option offering a one-time discounted payment on all the CE credits required per three-year renewal window.
This prepay subscription will allow ACIs to pay for their 12 credits in webinars and webcasts for $1,100. The subscription can be purchased at any time and the credits can be used over multiple windows.
ACI Alumni Network (AAN) members who purchase the prepay subscription will have their annual dues halved to $50 per year.
AAN members will also now receive a 50 percent discount off one course per year and see the cost of all online webinars and live-at-conference CE sessions reduced to $75, down from $90.
Seminars at conferences will now have an administrative fee of $100 per webinar.
ICCIE recently announced a partnership with Captive Insurance Companies Association (CICA) on a new programme to support the career development and educational needs of captive professionals.
The partnership gives recent ACI graduates a complimentary one-year CICA membership and access to is mentorship programme and attendance to the annual CICA conference.
