What is ACE Training?

Designed for all agency personnel, Agent Continuing Education provides essential CNAN product and program information, and actionable sales techniques for both new and seasoned agents. We offer 101- and 201-level classes that take into account the experience of the participants in order to deliver the most effective training.

In addition to the educational aspect, agents who attend gain insight into our company culture, have opportunities to meet our leaders, build stronger relationships with key employees, and ultimately obtain an overall sense of what makes CNAN special.

Whether you’ve just started with us or have been with us for decades, attending these sessions will bring value to you, your business and your accounts. Read on for more details, including an outline of the curriculum.
