International Risk Management Institute/Captive.com Announces New Partnership With ICCIE

DALLAS, Texas, Oct. 7 (TNSOps) -- The International Risk Management Institute issued the following news release:

International Risk Management Institute, Inc. (IRMI), and Captive.com are delighted to announce a new partnership with the International Center for Captive Insurance Education (ICCIE) that will connect IRMI's online self-paced captive insurance courses with ICCIE's Associate in Captive Insurance (ACI) and Certificate in Captive Insurance (CCI) designations.

The new arrangement allows IRMI users who have successfully completed all three captive insurance courses--Captives as Risk Retention Mechanisms, Captives as Risk Transfer Mechanisms, and Forming and Operating a Captive Insurer--to obtain a waiver for ICCIE's Introduction to Alternative Risk Financing Mechanisms class when accepted into the ACI or CCI designation program. Another option for those who successfully complete the three IRMI courses is to purchase the ICCIE intro class at a 50 percent discount in recognition of the work already done. The agreement benefits those who complete the IRMI courses by offering them an easy, seamless on-ramp into the ICCIE programs.

"IRMI and Captive.com are excited to partner with ICCIE in this endeavor," said IRMI Captive and Risk Finance Product Manager Joe McDonald. "Our mutual goal of advancing captive insurance education can only be further realized when we combine our efforts in ways like this. Our partnership will make it easy for individuals to increase their understanding of captives as we collectively facilitate a more knowledgeable and sophisticated captive expert."

"Since our launch, ICCIE has had a great relationship with IRMI and Captive.com, but this new arrangement is the first real cooperative agreement we have ever had, and it's a great opportunity for both organizations, as well as captive insurance students," said ICCIE Executive Director Mitch Cantor.
