The CPIA classes focus on:

• Skills to assimilate information into coverage
• How to prepare a complete submission
• Tips for preparing and presenting a proposal

By the way, earning the designation with PIA is easy. Attend 3 modules. That's it. We started with CPIA 1 last year and now are bringing CPIA 2 and 3 this year so you can earn the designation or you can take one of our webinars to complete the process.

The best part? There is no testing.
