• The Associate Reinsurance Specialist (ARe) is a professional title awarded by the Insurance Institute of America (IIA) after successfully passing four national exams, two of which are specifically designed for this program, and two of which are the Certified Property Insurance Underwriter (CPCU) courses. The program that led to this title was developed with the support of the Reinsurance Section of the CPSU Society and with the technical and financial support of the Association of Brokers and Reinsurance Markets. Those who complete the program will gain a deep understanding of the reinsurance business, as well as familiarity with the risks, coverages and operations of the primary insurance company.
