The Certified Insurance Service Representative (CISR) designation is a nationally recognized educational program built for customer service representatives and account managers in insurance agencies and companies. It is a practical, intermediate-level program that assumes some working knowledge of the applicable policies and focuses on minimizing errors and omissions (E&O) claims and on understanding and analyzing risks and exposures. The CISR Other Personal study guide has 5 sections and about 2,549 words.
01Business Activities of Personal Lines Clients
This domain tests whether you can spot the moment a client's personal policy stops responding because money changed hands - home offices, home day care, room rentals, craft and farm income - and which endorsement or commercial policy restores the coverage. Section II (liability): bodily injury or property damage arising out of or in connection with a 'business' engaged in by an insured is excluded.
539 words, about 3 min02Recreational Lines
This domain tests coverage placement for the vehicles and craft that sit between the personal auto policy and the homeowners policy: motorcycles, ATVs and UTVs, snowmobiles, golf carts, watercraft, RVs and increasingly e-bikes. 'Your covered auto' means a private passenger auto, pickup or van shown in the declarations, plus a qualifying newly acquired auto.
516 words, about 3 min03Personal Umbrella/Excess Liability
This domain tests the structure, conditions and exclusions of personal umbrella and excess liability policies, and whether the coverage you placed actually responds above the underlying auto, homeowners, watercraft or rental policies. A true excess policy follows the terms of a specified underlying policy and adds limits for the same coverage.
444 words, about 2 min04Personal Lines Catastrophe Coverage
This domain tests how property policies and separate catastrophe programs respond to flood, hurricane, earthquake and wildfire losses, and how deductibles, sublimits and time limits change the payout. Homeowners forms exclude water damage from flooding, surface water and storm surge.
503 words, about 3 min05Personal Lines Emerging Risks
This domain tests the exposures personal forms have not caught up with - app-based work, home-sharing, micromobility, drones, connected devices and digital assets - and how to place them without overpromising. Rideshare: the PAP excludes carrying persons for a fee.
