Here is a super short, quick tip: several of the CPCU® courses discuss a concept called bailment, which is when someone temporarily gives possession of their property to another party. Bailor refers to the original property owner, while bailee refers to the person who temporarily has possession of the property. Distinguishing between the two parties is important to getting your test questions right, but their similarity makes it easy to mix the two up. One easy way to remember the difference? Bailor has an O for owner!

About your instructor

Insurance Exam Guides (IEG) was founded by Stacy Trinh, CPCU®, who first started her teaching journey at the request of her co-workers who were preparing for their CPCU exams. Because of her reputation as an adept trainer and motivator, Stacy's co-workers had asked her to lead a class. The feedback on her sessions and study materials was overwhelming positive, and her students encouraged her to share what she had to offer with the rest of the CPCU community.

Since then, Stacy created a library of study materials for both CPCU® and AINS® that have helped thousands of students pass their exams. As an accounting major and former claims adjuster, her style of instruction incorporates both a financial and operational perspective that makes her study materials well-rounded. She looks forward to helping many more students continue to succeed, including you!
