How do I attain the Certified Programs Leader (CPL) designation?

You are likely familiar with The Institutes and their current designations including the CPCU, ARM, ARe, and others. A new program designation is in development. While we are working to finalize the curriculum and course material, we have decided to pause on any “new” CPL starts within Target University.
