By completing AEI’s programs, students earn designations and awards that are widely recognized in the industry as a mark of professional achievement. A complete listing of our designations can be found here.

Earning the SCLA designation requires completion of the Legal Principles program plus three other full programs. The best place to begin is completing the Legal Principles program first, which is the foundation for a thorough understanding of the rules of law that apply to claims and is required for obtaining the SCLA designation.

1) Fundamentals in Coverage and Claims Law, which covers coverage and claims law designed for the entry level employee and all who want an understanding of the principles of law and insurance as they apply to coverage and claims

2) Claims Fraud Fundamentals-an introductory course that presents some of the main issues in fraud recognition and investigation. Course is specially designed for new SIU personnel.
