Exam Information: We have been working with The National Alliance to grant you access to the corresponding online CISR exam should you choose to take the exam. The exam will be available to you through your PROfile page beginning at 4:15 p.m. the day of the class through Thursday at 11:59 p.m. CT the week following the class. The equipment for taking the exam will not be provided to participants. Those who would like to stay after class and take the exam will need to bring with them their own electronic devices. Additional time will be given after class to go over the exam review. This extra time is optional if you need it to ask questions. If there is any issue with the timing, please contact the National Alliance as soon as possible CISR online exams require a proctor: You need an individual to proctor you while you take the online exam. If you are taking the exam immediately following class, your instructor will serve as your proctor. They fill out the proctor affidavit after you submit the exam acknowledging that they served as a proctor for you and all rules and processes were followed accordingly.

Tenured: In recognition of the many milestones and achievements National Alliance designees have made in their successful careers, the Board of Governors initiated the Tenured status in 2011. Therefore, this special recognition of tenure has been granted to CIC, CRM, CPRM, CISR, and CSRM designees who have met the following criteria: - Held the designation for 25 or more years.
- CIC, CRM, CPRM, CISR, and CSRM designees who have not held the designation for 25+ years but are 70 years old or older.
- Designation is in good standing.
- Membership dues are current.
These National Alliance designees will be eligible for tenured status and may maintain their designation by paying dues every year and attending a qualified program every other year.
Emeritus: A status available to designees who are ready to retire, but not ready to give up the designation for which they worked so diligently and maintained for so many years. Emeritus status is maintained with annual dues payment and no annual update is required. The Emeritus status guidelines are: - Candidates must be retired from the insurance or risk management industry
- Years you held the designation plus age must equal 70 or greater.
- Must be dues-paid members in good standing.
