The Diploma in Insurance is a technical and supervisory qualification for insurance staff working across all sectors of the industry (and the logical progression from the Certificate in Insurance). The Diploma will provide you with a firm understanding of insurance fundamentals and will enable you to build towards advanced technical knowledge, thereby ensuring you have the means to function effectively in a challenging environment.

Upon completion you will be awarded the Diploma in Insurance and be eligible to use the designation 'Dip CII'® or 'Dip CII (Claims)' should you have passed (820) Advanced claims or (P85/M85) Claims practice (CII membership and Continuing Professional Development requirements apply).

In addition to being a valuable qualification in its own right, the Diploma can also be a milestone on the route to completion of the Advanced Diploma. In completing the Diploma you will gain credits that can count towards the Advanced Diploma (subject to the completion requirements).

Completion requirements

To complete the Diploma you must obtain a minimum of 120 CII credits, with at least 90 credits at Diploma level or above. The following compulsory unit requirements apply:

• (M922) Insurance business and finance or (530) Economics and business (Advanced Diploma in Insurance unit); and
• (M052) Insurance law.

We recommend that all Diploma entrants also sit unit (IF1) Insurance, legal and regulatory, as this covers the workings of the market, including the legal and regulatory framework and the essentials of insurance practice. The remaining credits can come from any of the units offered within the CII insurance qualifications framework.
