When you start working in insurance, you’ll become part of the industry’s largest professional body, The Insurance Institute, who provide qualifications to suit every stage of your career. You can study online towards these qualifications, which means they’re very achievable if you’re working or studying full time already.
When you work in insurance your customers place a lot of trust and responsibility in your hands, so it’s essential that you have the necessary knowledge and skills to give them peace of mind.
Here are the qualifications that will help you to get your career going.
The Accredited Product Adviser (APA) is the minimum requirement that is expected throughout the industry.
There are a number of different product areas within insurance and you can earn the APA in any of the three main areas:
Whether you’re working in underwriting, claims or direct client support, this qualification is a must-have.
Why not get a head start on your APA before you start working in insurance? It will give you an overview of the various aspects of the industry – and it’ll look great on your CV.
While the Accredited Product Adviser (APA) is the entry level designation, you’ll find that most people who are serious about a career in insurance will continue on to earn the Certified Insurance Practitioner (CIP).
The CIP will give you all of the knowledge you’d earn with the APA, as well as:
APA modules make up 50% of those you need for the CIP – so if you choose to go down the APA route first, you’ll already be halfway towards your CIP.
