ALM Global recently released the much-anticipated Cannabis Insurance Coverage Specialist (CICS) designation. The forward-thinking (CICS) designation was developed by ALM’s subject matter experts and thought leaders in conjunction with multiple authorities in the insurance, legal and cannabis industries. The coursework is hot off the press and is updated regularly to reflect the continually changing cannabis industry.

“As marijuana legalization increases across the U.S., we wanted to create a professional designation that would benefit anyone serving or working in the ever-evolving cannabis industry,” shares Molly Miller, ALM’s chief content officer. “The coursework is focused on providing an in-depth look at the challenges and opportunities businesses face daily.”
