Conferred by the Insurance Institute of America (IIA), the Associate in Surplus Lines Insurance is appropriate for insurance professionals who sell (or deal with) surplus lines of insurance. Duh. These are lines not licensed by a state.
That said, your friendly neighborhood insurance guy or gal must be licensed to sell insurance in general. You'd think they'd have one for surplus lines around your eyes. Like can you buy Revlon Insurance? Bobbie Brown, maybe?
