Benefits of the CLCS Specialist Program

  • The CLCS Specialist program is designed to provide fundamental knowledge necessary to begin working in the insurance industry. It covers insurance principles, commercial auto, general liability, commercial property, and workers compensation in a readily digestible, easy learning format.
  • The insurance industry is complex, and education is the key to understanding its various concepts and applications. The CLCS provides key foundational knowledge in a reasonable amount of time with a focus on training those new to the industry so that they can quickly become competent in their positions.
  • It is designed to ready the entry-level student to be able to apply what they have learned in real world scenarios quickly and help the student become well versed in the main aspects of the commercial world of insurance.
  • By focusing on industry and commercial concepts only the student is able to move into a competency level that would otherwise take years using a more traditional approach.
  • The CLCS designation fills the knowledge gap between entry-level and advanced positions in underwriting and claims, and is designed to focus on learning that is foundational to the student’s need to understand and be able to apply comprehensive concepts in a practical way, which enables them to competently assume a functional role for the agency or carrier.
  • PLEASE NOTE - ONCE YOU EARN THIS DESIGNATION, NO ANNUAL UPDATES ARE REQUIRED!!!

Testimonial

"I really enjoyed the CLCS class. I believe this is a course all agents should take, especially if they are new to the industry or if they are just wanting to do a refresher. It provides a lot of information on all aspects of commercial lines coverage. I decided to complete the CLCS course, so I could gain a more in-depth understanding of each line of coverage and be better able to apply the knowledge I’ve obtained in real life scenarios."
