Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter (CPCU) is considered to be the premier professional designation in property-casualty insurance and risk management. The rigorous curriculum includes eight (8) post-secondary undergraduate, or graduate-level courses covering topics such as insurance law, history, contracts, ratemaking, and risk management, as well as business courses in finance, corporate structure, and ethics.

Designees must pass exams in five (5) core courses and three (3) courses in either a personal or commercial insurance concentration. These exams are standardized, proctored three hour essay-type exams in two sections. Part "A" is tested to determine understanding of the course's terminology, concepts, and content. Part "B" is tested to determine the ability of the candidate to apply the information to "real world" applications and situations.

CPCU designees are also bound by a Code of Ethics, and must pass an experience requirement as well. The CPCU designation is administered by the American Institute of Chartered Property Casualty Underwriters
