Don't lose your momentum!
CPIA, in conjunction with Professional Insurance Agents of Nebraska and Iowa, will host the popular and informative CPIA Seminar Series via webinar in 2025 & 2026. The Certified Professional Insurance Agent (CPIA) Designation is the first-of-its-kind, hands-on, how-to training on sales and marketing topics and techniques. It is nationally recognized as the mark of professionalism, commitment to professional training and results, and exceptional technical knowledge.
To earn the CPIA designation, candidates are required to participate in a series of 3 one-day Seminars. Seminars are designed to enhance the ability of producers, sales support staff, and company personnel to efficiently create and distribute effective insurance programs. Participants leave with actionable ideas that can produce results immediately.
Each course is scheduled from 8:30 AM to 4:15 PM CT with a 10-minute break every hour and a 45-minute break for lunch. To receive credit toward completion or update of the CPIA designation and to receive CE credit, participation in the entire seminar is required. There will be polls throughout the webinar to confirm attendance. CE credits will be filed after completion of each course.
