General Insurance Examination Tuition
General Insurance Examination Tuition
The Insurance Institute of Sussex has joined with other local institutes of the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) to offer a ground-breaking training course. We are offering three members of our institute the opportunity to obtain continuous free tuition in examination subjects (beginning at Certificate and leading on to Diploma and Advanced Diploma (ACII) levels). The cost of your training will be funded by our institute.
Training will be online, given by professional independent trainers experienced in CII examination training. It starts with a Certificate of Insurance course in January 2024.
Training days are 8, 15 and 22 January, 5, 12 and 19 February, 4, 11 and 18 March. The Broker Pathway is 9.30am - 12.30pm. The Insurer Pathway is 1.30pm - 4.30pm.
Our members can choose either broker subjects or insurer subjects, depending on what best suits their current role. We believe it is the first time that such a choice has been offered. After the Certificate course, those members who wish to can progress to a Diploma training course. Again, there is a choice of subjects. Those who subsequently wish to go onto the Advanced Diploma course will sign up to Diploma Standard. Others who might wish not to progress beyond Diploma at present can take Diploma Basic if they prefer.
The next stage is Advanced Diploma, scheduled to start in January 2026. Naturally, not all members will wish to progress beyond Certificate or Diploma. We understand that. Members can leave the course at completion of any designation (but not during, please). Equally, we expect there will be an opportunity for other members to join a Dip CII course in April 2024 and an Advanced Diploma course in January 2026. Further information on these options will follow in due course.
There is no training in any subject during July and August. Everyone needs a summer break.
We do expect the usual employer participation in this programme. We are looking for employers to provide study time to employees. We also expect that they will wish to fund purchase of the appropriate study text and examination entry. The online study time will consist of:
Certificate: 9 half-days
Diploma: 32 half-days
Advanced Diploma: 40 half-days
Your institute is providing free tuition – but not study texts or examination entry. These must be purchased from the CII. Places will be on a first-come, first-served basis. The scheme is administered by the Insurance Institute of Leicester and your details will be processed and held by them. Applicants should complete their application form (attached) and send it direct to Leicester at the email address shown on the application form. Leicester will liaise with us regarding the funding of the place.
