The PRC® program is designed for new-to-the-industry Property & Casualty professionals, typically with less than two years of experience. It’s especially valuable for:

• Producers or consultants
• Account managers and executives
• Claims and risk management professionals
• Business development and service associates

Participants should be working within a brokerage environment and ready to strengthen their technical knowledge and client advisory skills.

There are two ways to earn the PRC® designation, allowing participants to choose the format that best matches their learning style and schedule:

• PRC® Hybrid (via The Council): A five-month, instructor-led program combining live virtual sessions with independent coursework. Ideal for those who value structure, collaboration, and real-time discussion.
• PRC® On-Demand (via The Institutes): A self-paced, fully online program available 24/7. Perfect for independent learners who want flexibility and the ability to move through material at their own pace.

Completion time depends on the format you choose:

• Hybrid: Approximately five months, with around four hours of coursework per week.
• On-Demand: Typically three to six months, depending on your schedule and pace.

Both formats include the same curriculum and lead to the Professional Risk Consultant (PRC®) designation.

Tuition varies by format and Council membership status:

• Hybrid: $1,800 per person for Council members, $3,000 for non-members.
• On-Demand: $873 per person, with Council members receiving a 20% discount using code 2025PRC20CIAB.

Discounted corporate pricing is also available for firms enrolling multiple participants.

Yes. PRC® participants can earn Continuing Education (CE) credits in multiple states while completing the program. The Council provides guidance on eligibility and documentation to ensure credits apply toward licensing or professional requirements.

It depends on your learning preferences and schedule:

• Hybrid (via The Council): Best for learners who thrive with structure, live instruction, and interaction with peers and instructors. Cohorts start in March and September.
• On-Demand (via The Institutes): Ideal for self-motivated learners who prefer flexibility and want to move through coursework at their own pace. Enrollment is open year-round

Both paths lead to the same PRC® designation and provide access to the same best-in-class curriculum.
