Looking for information about NAMIC’s Professional Farm Mutual Manager certification? The PFMM program is no longer accepting new enrollments. Insurance professionals of all levels from all company sizes are encouraged to enroll in the Mutual Insurance Professional certification instead when registration opens in late Fall of 2024. If you are enrolled or certified in the PFMM program and have questions about what this means for you, please email certifications@namic.org.
NAMIC's Mutual Insurance Professional certification program is designed to educate primary carrier staff at all levels - and from companies of all sizes - on the core knowledge needed to be a successful professional in the mutual insurance industry. The MIP certification is a foundational designation that can be built upon through endorsements in specialty areas based on an individual's interest and personal career path. Earning the MIP certification and further endorsements demonstrates commitment to mutuality, competency, and operational excellence in the industry.
Program Requirements
To complete the Mutual Insurance Professional certification program, individuals must:
- Enroll in the program;
- Complete all required MIP virtual courses (included with enrollment fee);
- Attend any NAMIC in-person event based on interests/career path; and
- Pass the MIP exam with a grade of at least 70 percent within one year of enrollment.
Event Attendance Exceptions
Experienced participants may choose to forego attending MIP courses if they have at least 10 years of executive-level professional work experience at a mutual insurance company.
Qualified individuals will be scheduled for the MIP exam upon enrollment and be given access the study materials immediately. If they do not pass the exam the first time, they will be required to purchase and attend all required courses before attempting the exam again.
