About the Accreditation Program
State insurance departments, as well as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, formally recognize the Society's professional accreditation program which consists of two professional designations developed and awarded by the Insurance Regulatory Examiners Society. The Accredited Insurance Examiner (AIE™) and Certified Insurance Examiner (CIE™) designations are awarded to IRES members who meet the established minimum education and employment requirements. Currently, over 400 professionals hold an AIE or CIE designation.
An insurance regulatory professional who has been awarded an AIE has at least two years of verifiable fulltime insurance regulatory work and has been extensively trained in one of two primary fields of insurance regulation, Property and Casualty or Life and Health. An insurance regulatory professional who has been awarded a CIE has at least three years of verifiable fulltime insurance regulatory work, has attained an AIE in one field, and cross-trained in the other field.

In addition, IRES members who been awarded the AIE or CIE designation must take part in the Society's program of continuing education, known as the National IRES Continuing Education (NICE) Program. The NICE Program allows individuals who have earned either of the two designations to demonstrate their commitment to continued professional development through continuing education and training.
