What designations are currently available?
A. During the discussions with our focus groups, two points became crystal clear. The first was that the RPA is a valid designation in the eyes of the insurance industry as long as it is based on initial qualification of a line-specific course of study and the successful completion of an examination. The second point was the creation of an mRPA (Master RPA) designation. To that end we have created line-specific study course material and examinations for General Liability, Automobile Liability, Workers’ Compensation, Property and Multi-line adjusters. Candidates as well as those seeking reinstatement may select any one of the specific line of business exams. The mRPA program is under development and RPA plans to have it in place by Fall 2008.
