I am nearing the end of the first half of my CPCU and trying to decide on personal vs Commercial for the remaining 3 courses. I'm trying to find material or opinions on which way to go, and would love to read any information or advice. I tend to be leaning toward commerical currently.
Thanks for any input.

It depends on what's your planned carrer path. Assuming you're a producer or CSR, I'd say go commercial if your personal & commercial split is 50-50. The chances that you'll need such in depth knowledge for personal line is low, unless you want to become an underwriter yourself.

Commercial has more relevant information in general and is more beneficial. I am going commercial and the 553 is all about personal insurance and retirement. I think it gives a great overview of personal insurance in general and as much as you really need to know. The other 2 courses for commercial are more indepth (liability & property). I think commercial is the way to go.
