Of all things to get excitied about...

I just got this semester's texts for CPCU! Yay!

For you non-insurance folks - CPCU = Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter. It requires passing 8 classes. I have four done, and I just received the texts for the exam I'm taking in May! Yay!

So, what fabulously interesting topic am I studying now? Why, Commercial Liability Risk Management and Insurance. Fascinating stuff. Then over the summer I'm doing the Personal Lines class, then the Financial Concepts class for Insurance, and Financial Institutions, and I'll be ready for conferment! Yippee!

What topics are included?
Liability Loss Exposure
Liability Risk Control
Commercial General Liability Insurance
Business Auto Insurance
Garage and Motor Carrier Insurance
Workers Compensation and Employer Liability Insurance
Professional Liability Insurance
Environmental Insurance
Marine Insurance (what my dad did for so many years)
Aviation Insurance
Excess and Umbrella Insurance
Advance Risk Management Techniques

Doesn't that sound fun?

oooooooooh! :P

Can't say I know a thing about it, but congrats!

Ah, thanks. Actually, congratulate me in 19 months. That's when I should be done. Until then, it's study study study.

But at least the next two are somewhat interesting. I'm dreading the last two. In fact, the one for the fall is the one that most people fail (over 80% of the people who do these courses fail that one the first time they take it). I'm really hoping there's an actual class for that one so I don't have to study it on my own.

Ugh. That's almost as bad as the odds for the Foreign Service exam! 90% of people fail that. And of the 10% who pass, 10% of those pass the oral exam. Glad I didn't go in that direction after all.

Uh, I must admit that on the initial readthrough I misread conferment as confinement.

Who knows...I may be ready for that, too. ;)
