The Associates in Captive Insurance (ACI) designation is offered by the International Center for Captive Insurance Education (ICCIE), which is the first and only comprehensive captive insurance education programme in North America. Courses are relevant to any global insurance domicile. ICCIE was developed in 2004 in direct response to a need expressed by captive insurance professionals for in-depth educational offerings, information on current topics, and a professional designation. ICCIE recruits some of the most recognized names in captive insurance to serve as instructors.
