19 Jan Introducing CPCU 410 Study Materials for the ARM Path to CPCU program!
The Institutes has introduced a new way to earn both the ARM and CPCU® designations. After completing the three ARM courses (ARM 400, ARM 401, and ARM 402), you can take CPCU 410 to complete the Core Courses needed for the CPCU® designation. With those four core courses done, pass the three Concentration Courses in your chosen specialty area, an elective course, and an ethics course, and you’ll earn both the ARM and CPCU® designations!
BigDaddy U now has study materials available to help you prepare for your CPCU 410 exam.
CPCU 410 is made up of sections from CPCU 520, 530, and 540. Topics in CPCU 410 include:
- Understanding Insurer Operations (CPCU 520)
- Examining Insurer Functions (CPCU 520)
- Contract Law (CPCU 530)
- Legal Implications of Ownership (CPCU 530)
- Tort Law (CPCU 530)
- Professional Arrangements (CPCU 530)
- GAAP Financial Statements (CPCU 540)
- Understanding Corporate Investment (CPCU 540)
- Financial Markets (CPCU 540)
- Stocks and Bonds (CPCU 540)
Below is a table comparing the different courses required for each designation.

Posted at 14:38h, 02 MayDo you have a study guild for the ARM courses 400, 401 and 402

Posted at 08:56h, 03 MayUnfortunately, we do not yet have study materials for any of the ARM courses. We may develop some in the future, but it would be probably in 2023 at the earliest.

Posted at 19:21h, 18 MaySharon, in the time being, armstudygroup.com is a good alternative. It’s not as well put together like BDU, but it’ll do the trick to get through ARM.

Posted at 07:08h, 13 NovemberAs per your comment and information CPCU 410 covers, CPCU 520, 530, and 540, do we need to complete CPCU 500 separately
Elizabeth White
Posted at 10:31h, 13 NovemberYou will only take CPCU 410 if you already have your ARM designation and you want to earn your CPCU designation. If you have already completed the three ARM courses (ARM 400, 401, & 402), you can take CPCU 410 to satisfy the core courses for the CPCU designation. CPCU 410 essentially replaces the need to take 500, 520, 530 and 540 ONLY if you have already completed ARM 400, 401, & 402.
