Hartford CLCS Program (comm Lines Cov Specialist)

I am very interested in taking the CLCS designation course offerred by The Hartford for a whopping $4000. Does anyone have a CLCS designation or taken this course by the Hartford? Would you recommend either the course or the designation?

A little bit about myself, I started selling P&C when I was 18 (7 years ago) with my father. Mostly nonstandard, we have recently picked sold a lot of General Liability policies through some GAs. I know "a little bit" about GL, not a whole lot just enough to get everyone insured for 1m/2m liability limits.

I would like to find a niche and reorient our agency into commercial lines instead. I will really appreciate ANY input. Thank you!

I went ahead and signed up for the virtual online class. I guess I can be the first to report back this thread.

Goodluck with your CLCS course. I come from personal insurance & wanted to get into the commercial end as well. The price is expensive but I'm sure it will be well worth it. I tried to look up reviews on Google but to no avail. Please do follow up when you complete the course.

Are you doing the virtual online class starting June 10? If so, I will be joining you =)

 

[khang.mis]

Yes I will be! But I guess we won't really see each other haha

I got the pre-work book. Good thing I noticed it was (Pre-Work!) I thought it was the course book!!!!

GL with your testing by the way I was curious why you want to "re-rient" into niche commercial over standard risks? I could be misunderstanding.

I received a 15 lb box of books yesterday almost gave me a heart attack.

Right now my father and I are in nonstandard auto and it simply is not something I think I could deal with the rest of my life. Besides we want to differentiate ourselves from the other untrained nonstandard broker franchises nearby.
