PROGRAMS OF STUDY
ICCIE Designation Program
As ICCIE was being conceived, feedback from industry experts made it clear that a captive insurance education designation should be available through a comprehensive program of study. It was with this in mind that the Associate in Captive Insurance (ACI) designation program was created, and it was intentionally designed to be challenging and complete – to assure professionals that the designation would be meaningful.
The following are the components of the ACI Designation Program:
A. Students must complete all five core courses (including their respective post-course exams). These are classes comprised of ICCIE content developed by our instructors. They can be taken in traditional face-to-face mode or on-line via instructor-led asynchronous learning.

- An Introduction to Alternative Risk Financing Mechanisms
- Understanding Risk and Risk Retention Mechanisms
- Protecting the Captive: Predicting Risk, Reinsurance and other Transfer Mechanisms
- Forming and Operating a Captive
- Business Ethics in the Captive Insurance Industry
B. Students must complete two of the following electives (including their respective post-course exams). These are courses offered through ICCIE, the American Institute of Chartered Property Casualty Underwriters (AICPCU), the Insurance Education Association (IEA) and American Society for Healthcare Risk Management (ASHRM). These electives are offered as instructor-led on-line classes, face-to-face or as independent study courses.

C. Students must participate in three “hot topic” teleconferences offered through ICCIE or Vermont Captive Insurance Association (VCIA). It is expected that the two organizations will be offering a total of six such teleconferences per year.
D. Upon earning the Associates in Captive Insurance Designation (ACI) students must complete a minimum of 12 continuing education credits in three years. To learn more about the CE requirements click here
