A student should have a basic knowledge of insurance.  The CISR program consists of 5 one-day courses that cover all phases of the CSR's daily work. They are as follows: Agency Operations, Commercial Casualty, Personal Residential, Personal Auto, and Commercial Property.  You may take the courses in any order.

Each course is followed by a one-hour exam.  Anyone may attend the courses and receive the CEUs without taking the exam. However, if you wish to attain the designation, you must pass each of the 5 exams. To earn the CISR designation you must successfully complete the program and pass the exams within three calendar years following the passage of the first exam.
