CONTINUING EDUCATION (CE) PROGRAM
The CE Program for underwriting professionals was launched in 2021. The purposes of the CE program are to:
1. Promote the importance of underwriting professionalism through continuing education.
2. Maintain value of the FALU designation by providing an opportunity for a re-certification of the FALU designation.
3. Recognize continuing education for non-FALU underwriters.
There was significant participation/momentum in the inaugural certification year. Here are the program’s statistics:
• 689 total users who logged credits
• 504 total awarded certifications
◦ 321 Certified Professional Underwriters
◦ 183 Certified FALUs
• Top category for credits: Virtual training
Certifications awarded are good through the end of 2023. Momentum continued into April 2022 when participants were able to begin logging in their credits for the next 2-year period of certification January 2024 – December of 2025. Since April of 2022:
• 696 total users have logged credits
• 56 total awarded certifications
◦ 22 Certified Professional Underwriters
◦ 34 Certified FALUs
• Top category for credits: Virtual training – webinar or live streaming event (50 minutes or more).
Underwriting professionals have until January of 2024 to log credits and become certified. A total of 50 credits are necessary to become certified, and the good news is training that you participated in between January 2022 and December 2023 will qualify (a whole 2 years)!
