What does the Certificate in Insurance involve?
To achieve the Certificate in Insurance you must accumulate 40 credits. Candidates are required to take (IF1) Insurance, legal and regulatory – worth 15 credits or (P01) Insurance practice and regulation (a Diploma in Insurance unit worth 20 credits – see below for details). Note: anyone who has passed P01 will be precluded from taking IF1 or IF2 on account of the degree of syllabus overlap. The balance may come from any combination of the available units: Certificate in Insurance units Credits (IF1) Insurance, legal and regulatory – Compulsory unit 15 per unit (IF2) General insurance business (IF3) Insurance underwriting process (IF4) Insurance claims handling process (IF5) Motor insurance products (IF6) Household insurance products (IF7) Healthcare insurance products Certificate candidates may sit the Foundation Insurance Test, and also select one higher unit from the Diploma or Advanced Diploma in Insurance without meeting the entry requirements for these qualifications. Those candidates wishing to select more than one unit must first meet the entry requirements. A listing of these units is provided below. At the time of going to press the following Award, Diploma and Advanced Diploma units are available.

This move reflects falling demand for this unit. Levels have reached the point where it is no longer viable to run this course, given the substantial costs involved in keeping the learning and revision material up-to-date and in creating and administering the exam. This will take effect following the October 2006 examination session.

This approach has been adopted to provide you with maximum flexibility, enabling you to choose different units from the 46 currently available across our entire qualifications framework. Units from the Diploma and Advanced Diploma are worth a higher credit value, allowing completion of the Certificate in a lower number of units. This flexible approach allows you to develop a course programme that suits your particular needs and requirements. You can tailor learning to your current role and/or develop areas which are new to you or where you need to gain in-depth knowledge. There is no prescribed order in which units must be taken, but it is strongly recommended that you sit (IF1) Insurance, legal and regulatory first since this provides foundation knowledge upon which the other units build. All the Certificate level exams are two hours in duration. The formats differ between units, with each developed to ensure they are relevant to the material being covered and are appropriate to the type and level of learning being undertaken: (IF1) – 100 multiple choice questions (IF2) – 60 multiple choice questions and 40 true/false questions (IF3) – 75 multiple choice questions (IF4) – 75 multiple choice questions (IF5) – 50 multiple choice questions and 25 mini case study multiple choice questions (IF6) – 50 multiple choice questions and 25 mini case study multiple choice questions (IF7) – 100 multiple choice questions As a guide, we recommend that you allow a minimum of 50 hours’ study for the Certificate units – this equates to approximately 4 hours a week over three months (this will vary according to your experience and ability, but is based on many years’ experience of exam entry). All Certificate units (IF1-7) have a nominal pass mark of 70%, though the actual pass mark may vary slightly from one session to another to ensure that the pass standard remains constant. There are four public exam sittings in 2006 – 23-24 January, 24-25 April, 17-18 July and 16-17 October. You are also urged to give careful thought to your chosen method of study. The CII has developed a portfolio of study options and revision aids to support learning for the Certificate. The portfolio includes: correspondence courses coursebooks online learning examination guides key facts booklets face-to-face training courses Discounts are available on these items for CII members.
