All exams will be graded on a pass/fail basis and no exams will be returned to any candidates. Exam pass/fail notices will be mailed to candidates within three weeks of taking the exam.

All CSRP candidates must matriculate into the program. To be accepted into the program a candidate must verify that he/she has five years of experience working for an insurance company or, in the case of subrogation service providers, serving the needs of insurance companies.
