用法筆記

CLU is most commonly written in capital letters (CLU) rather than lowercase (clu). It functions as a countable noun — you can say 'a CLU' (the certification) or 'she is a CLU' (a person holding the designation). The full term 'Chartered Life Underwriter' is often introduced before the abbreviation on first mention in formal writing.

常見錯誤

❌He passed his CLU exam.' (vague — which exam?)
✅He passed the CLU examination series.
💡The CLU requires multiple exams, not a single test.
❌She is a Chartered Life Underwriter CLU.' (redundant)
✅She is a CLU.' or 'She holds the Chartered Life Underwriter designation.
💡Do not write the abbreviation immediately after the full form; use one or the other.
