Institute of WorkComp Professionals

Certified WorkComp Specialist Institute

Master WorkComp Advisor Designation

The Master WorkComp Advisor (MWCA) course is a hands-on deep dive into the Institute process. Sessions draw directly from bureau manuals to bring clarity to the gray areas of workers’ comp.

With a curriculum full of case studies and stories from Institute members, there is no course that takes an agent deeper into how workers’ compensation works.

To be eligible to attend the MWCA Institute, you must first earn the CWCA or CWCS designation and be an active member of the Institute.
