The MLIS Certification Establishes Credibility and Dedication
Management liability exposures and coverages are quite complex, and insurance generalists frequently make errors in designing programs for their clients. Thus, IRMI developed the MLIS program in response to concerns expressed by clients about the difficulty of determining whether their insurance agents, brokers, and other risk advisers have the specialized knowledge necessary to properly design and arrange their insurance programs. Completing the MLIS curriculum will ensure that the agent, broker, consultant, or in-house risk manager or insurance buyer understands the most important aspects of professional and management liability. The program also establishes the individual's commitment to the industry with a mandatory continuing education component focusing on professional and management liability insurance. When dealing with a holder of the MLIS certification, a buyer will know that this person possesses at least a basic-to-intermediate understanding of management liability exposures, insurance, and risk management techniques and that the person is making an effort to stay on top of relevant insurance industry changes and trends.

MLIS Re-Accreditation
Once you earn the right to use the MLIS certification you must engage in an ongoing continuing education process to maintain it. To maintain the MLIS certification, you must obtain only 3 hours of approved professional or management liability insurance continuing education credit during the initial 12 months and every 12 months thereafter (generally one online course or a half day of seminar attendance).
