MAIA offers a FIVE-PART Construction Risk and Insurance Specialist designation program (CRIS®) in partnership with International Risk Management Institute, Inc. (IRMI®).
The Construction Risk and Insurance Specialist (CRIS®) program is a specialized curriculum focusing on the complex insurance and risk management needs of construction projects and contractors. Developed by IRMI in response to concerns expressed by many contractors, the CRIS® curriculum assures that the agent, broker, consultant, or in-house risk manager or insurance purchaser understands the most important insurance needs of contractors. CRIS® certification holders have a basic-to-intermediate understanding of construction exposures, insurance, and risk management techniques, and make effort to stay on top of insurance industry changes and trends affecting contractors.
Design Build Risk is a STAND ALONE course and is not part of the CRIS Core curriculum; however, it can be used to update the Construction Risk and Insurance Specialist (CRIS) designation.
Class Topics:
This course provides an introduction to important risk management and insurance concepts for all contracting parties to a construction project. It provides an overview of the ways in which insured status under another party’s insurance program can be used as a risk transfer technique and examines in detail the terms and conditions on which insured status is provided in all the major lines of construction insurance. While other lines are also addressed, particular emphasis is placed on additional insured status under general liability insurance, since that is where the most important contractual risk transfers are located.
CRIS certification holders must attend a full day (such as 9:00-4:00) class of approved construction risk and insurance continuing education credit during the 24 months following initial receipt of the certification and every 12 months thereafter. You may obtain this CE credit by attending approved CRIS® courses or conferences or completing online CRIS® courses.
CRIS certification holders can also update their CRIS designation by attending a 6 hour Management Liability Insurance Specialist (MLIS®) program.
Retail insurance agents and brokers may elect to have their name, firm, and phone number included in the directory of CRIS construction insurance agents and brokers. This is a free listing in a directory being promoted to contractors as a source for insurance professionals who are focused on the construction industry.
The state requires that all registrants attend a class in its entirety to receive continuing education credits (CEUs). Partial credit is not given. Late arrivals will not receive any CEU. CEUs are not based on examination results. The State of New Hampshire charges $7.00 for CE for CRIS® classes. If you need NH CE, please make your check payable to IIABNH for $7.00 and bring it with you on the day of the CRIS® class.
