Testimonials from CII students

Certificate in Insurance

"The CII has designed their certifications in such a comprehensive way that it provides pathway to professionals from diverse backgrounds. Be it risk management, underwriting, claims or health. As a risk manager I chose the underwriting and claims as optional courses. They really helped me to get a grip of the basics of these lines. Being Cert CII, I can now relate my risk surveys and reports to underwriting and claims procedures more holistically. Even during the pandemic, the CII has evolved to provide options to continue with the learning and exams even from our homes"

Diploma in Insurance

"Just selling insurance policies was not enough for me. I wanted to have a deep understanding of insurance. I did not know how to get knowledge in a professional and systematic way but then I remembered about CII qualifications that my CEO advised me. I started the IF1 unit and just wanted to get a certificate. Every chapter that I read brought me so much knowledge and by every completed chapter I became more and more confident. As I was passing the exams my career was also going up. I am now a Diploma holder and aim to complete the ACII level. From a sales specialist I became the head of Underwriting & reinsurance division where I could implement all the knowledge that CII gave me"
