I have studied several months for the first course in my quest to gain my CPCU designation (Chartered Property Casualty Underwriters). The test is Friday morning, so I have about 24 hours left to study. I should be in good shape; I’ve been through the course guide, course outline, educational objectives, and flash cards. Now I just have to take the exam. The course focuses on risk management and helps me understand my insurance practice on a different level.
