What is the definition of Chartered Property/Casualty Underwriter (CPCU)?
A Chartered Property/Casualty Underwriter (CPCU) is a professional who has undergone extensive training and passed the national examinations. To be a CPCU, one also has to have three years of work experience. This is a highly respected position in the insurance industry, very much like the accounting industry's Certified Public Accountant. This professional designation is granted by the American Institute for Chartered Property Casualty Underwriters. A professional who is designated to be a CPCU is expected to comply with a code of professional ethics.
The course involves subjects such as history, contracts, insurance law, risk management, business courses (ethics, finance and corporate structure) and rate making. These are post-secondary undergraduate level or graduate-level courses.
