The Transportation Risk and Insurance Professional (TRIP®) program is a
specialized curriculum focusing on the insurance and risk management needs
of the transportation industry. Those who complete the program are entitled
to display the TRIP certification to attest to their knowledge of
transportation-related insurance and risk management and dedication to the
industry.
TRIP Establishes Credibility and Dedication
The TRIP continuing education (CE) program was developed by IRMI to make it
much easier for transportation industry financial officers and managers,
controllers, in-house risk managers or insurance buyers, and their agents,
brokers, and underwriters to gain specialized expertise in transportation
insurance and risk management. Completing the five-part curriculum entitles
you to the TRIP certification. Transportation industry financial and risk
professionals who obtain the certification will have the knowledge to make
wiser insurance and risk management decisions for their employers and work
more effectively with their agents/brokers. Obtaining the TRIP
certification will increase the competence, confidence, and credibility of
insurance professionals who sell or underwrite insurance for contractors. A
CFO, CFM, controller, or risk manager who buys insurance from a TRIP
designee will know he or she is dealing with someone who is knowledgeable
about the specialized needs of transportation companies.
Curriculum and Renewal
The core curriculum is composed of five basic- to intermediate-level
insurance and risk management CE courses directly focused on the unique
needs of transportation companies. Completing the core curriculum qualifies
an individual to use the TRIP certification for 12 months. To maintain the
certification, the TRIP certification holder must complete only 6 hours of
TRIP CE credit every 12 months thereafter. This can be satisfied through
just one additional online course or by attending approved seminars and
conferences.
