Graduate Seminar

Earning your CMIP designation is a significant achievement. Keeping it current is how you protect its value.​

​

The CMIP Graduate Seminar is designed exclusively for CMIP graduates. It brings together professionals who have already completed the full four-seminar program for an advanced session focused on emerging issues, evolving coverage, and the developments shaping the marine insurance market. Topics vary by seminar, reflecting what is most relevant to practitioners right now.

Who This Seminar Is For

This seminar is open to CMIP graduates only. It serves two purposes equally: satisfying the two-year attendance requirement to maintain your CMIP designation, and keeping your expertise current in a market that does not stand still.

​

If you have completed all four CMIP seminars and passed each exam, this is how you stay sharp, stay current, and stay designated.

What to Expect

Because topics vary by seminar, each Graduate Seminar offers something different. Past sessions have addressed shifts in market conditions, regulatory changes, emerging risks, and complex coverage scenarios that experienced marine insurance professionals encounter in practice.

This is not a review of the fundamentals. It is an opportunity to go deeper, engage with peers at your level, and come away with insights you can apply immediately.

Maintaining Your CMIP Designation

To maintain the CMIP designation, graduates must attend a CMIP Graduate Seminar or a regular CMIP seminar at least once every two years. The Graduate Seminar is the most direct way to satisfy that requirement while also earning CE credits and annual update credits for other designations.
