NEW! California Workers Compensation Claims Professional (WCCP)

Delivered as an online self–study or instructor–led program, the California Workers Compensation Claims Professional (WCCP) designation program provides a thorough grounding in principles and theories that can be applied directly to your daily job functions. Plus, earning the WCCP designation brings recognition to you as a professional in the field of workers compensation. To earn the WCCP designation, you must successfully complete the California Workers Compensation Claims Administration (WCCA) certificate program in addition to completing the requirements listed below.

New! Ethics requirement. The Institutes believe ethical decision making skills are essential to the practice of insurance. Starting June 1, 2012, all WCCP program participants must complete either Ethical Guidelines for Insurance Professionals or the CPCU program’s Ethics and the CPCU Code of Professional Conduct. Both online modules are free. Learn more and register now.

Also starting June 1, 2012, all WCCP program participants will be required to have a colleague or supervisor proctor their online exams and sign an affidavit.

Passing the following courses, in addition to earning the WCCA certificate, is required to earn the California Workers Compensation Claims Professional (WCCP) designation:

  • CA 16B–Permanent Disability and AMA Advanced
  • CA 17–Labor Law and Current Case Law
  • CA 20–Advanced Issues in Workers Compensation

NOTE: For students who attended and passed CA13 in prior years, CA 16A may be taken in place of CA16B to earn the WCCP designation.

Program Options: The WCCP courses are available in an online self–study format.

We Recommend WCCP for: California claims professionals and workers compensation specialists

Course Sequence: You must complete the California Workers Compensation Claims Administration (WCCA) certificate program before starting the WCCP designation program.
