The technical nature and detail of the material covered in the CIA™ course is best appreciated in an interactive classroom environment. Experience has shown that jewelers have a multitude of questions about the insurance industry that cannot be anticipated and only come to light during classroom discussion. We assume jewelers know their business and are taking the course to become knowledgeable about the insurance business, an endeavor that is best served through classroom training. The classroom experience incorporates role-playing and other participatory exercises in which jewelers assume the roles of underwriters and adjusters in learning the intricacies of jewelry insurance and the importance of their appraisals.
