The MLISTM Certification Establishes Credibility
and Competence
The Management Liability Insurance Specialist (MLIS) continuing education (CE) program
was developed by IRMI to make it much easier for in-house risk managers or insurance
buyers, and their insurance agents or brokers to gain specialized expertise in the
fundamentals of professional liability insurance and the more specific nuances of
directors and officers liability, employment practices liability, and fiduciary
liability exposures and insurance. These specialized lines of insurance are often
called "management liability" or "executive liability" insurance, hence the name
of the program. Obtaining the MLIS certification will increase the competence, confidence,
and credibility of the risk managers who purchase these lines of insurance, and
insurance professionals who sell them. Risk managers or insurance buyers who obtain
the certification will gain the knowledge to assure that the assets of their organizations
and personal assets of the directors and officers are properly protected, and when
buying insurance from an MLIS designee will know he or she is dealing with someone
who is committed to staying abreast of this complex and constantly changing insurance
specialty.

The MLISTM Curriculum and the Continuing Education
Requirement
The MLIS program consists of a two-part curriculum that was designed specifically
for risk managers, and their insurance agents or brokers. Part 1 is comprised of
three basic- to intermediate-level courses that cover the fundamentals of all types
of professional, E&O, and D&O liability insurance. Part 2 consists of four courses
that focus on the specific nuances of directors and officers liability, employment
practices liability, and fiduciary liability exposures and insurance. Completing
the seven-course curriculum qualifies an individual to use the MLIS certification
for 24 months. To maintain the certification, the MLIS certification-holder must
complete only 3 hours of approved professional or management liability insurance
continuing education credit during the initial 24 months and every 12 months thereafter.
This requirement can be satisfied through just one additional online CE course or
by attending approved seminars and conferences held by IRMI or other organizations.
