SHOULD I GET MY DESIGNATION?
AILP courses are appropriate for Agency Producers, Account Managers, CSRs, Underwriters, Adjusters, or any insurance agency employee who wants to build a solid practical knowledge base to facilitate their career performance and advancement. Participants should have at least two years of experience in insurance and have completed beginners' insurance courses in the coverage topics (or have a producer license). The AILP curriculum includes both Coverage* and Issues** Courses. The complete designation (AILP) requires successful completion of all Coverage PL and CL Courses AND all Issues PL and CL Courses. A monoline designation (AILP/PL or AILP/CL) requires successful completion of all Coverage and Issues Courses in the desired line. Specific coursework completed for other designations or certifications may count toward your AILP designation Designation Requirements To earn the complete AILP designation, you must complete all courses in either the personal lines or commercial lines track. (See below for exemptions.) When taking both PL and CL courses at the same time, all required coursework must be completed within six (6) years. To earn a monoline designation (either AILP/PL or AILP/CL), all required coursework must be completed within four (4) years. Once an AILP designation has been obtained, you can immediately use the designation. You may obtain one monoline designation first and then add on the other to reach the complete designation.

Designation Updates
To retain the ability to utilize the designation, the designee must perform a yearly (calendar year) update which can include any multi-day, full-day, or 2 partial-day courses that total at least six (6) continuing education (CE) credits; that are intermediate to advanced in nature (i.e., programs that discuss policy issues, not those that just review policy coverages*); and offered through MAIA. For AILP/CL designees, the renewal course must be in commercial lines. For AILP/PL designees, it must be in personal lines. If you have earned the complete AILP designation, your renewal course can be in either commercial or personal lines. *Examples of Qualifying Renewal Classes- AILP Issues Programs (but NOT AILP Coverage Programs)
