ALM Global recently released the much-anticipated Cannabis Insurance Coverage Specialist (CICS) designation. The forward-thinking (CICS) designation was developed by ALM’s subject matter experts and thought leaders in conjunction with multiple authorities in the insurance, legal and cannabis industries. The coursework is hot off the press and is updated regularly to reflect the continually changing cannabis industry.
“As marijuana legalization increases across the U.S., we wanted to create a professional designation that would benefit anyone serving or working in the ever-evolving cannabis industry,” shares Molly Miller, ALM’s chief content officer. “The coursework is focused on providing an in-depth look at the challenges and opportunities businesses face daily.”
Whether someone is an insurance producer, agent, risk manager, or otherwise engaged in various areas of the cannabis business, this designation will keep them informed on a wide variety of issues surrounding cannabis. CICS is the most complete professional learning program available for industry professionals, as well as growers, suppliers, manufacturers, dispensaries and others seeking to master the complex subject of cannabis insurance coverage.
The six-course curriculum will enhance a student’s knowledge and skills related to the cannabis business. Those who complete the designation will gain insights into the following areas as they relate to the cannabis industry: Insurance, risk management, insurance claims, real estate, workers’ compensation and banking. The courses are also available individually for anyone seeking information on a specific area of the cannabis business.
