What is the Broker Academy?
The CII Broker Academy is essentially a ‘one stop shop’ training and development facility for insurance brokers. We’re talking about qualifications, learning and revision materials, access to face-to-face training, online learning and assessment facilities, membership of the CII and its dedicated Faculty of Broking – a whole host of services that enable brokers to accelerate their professional development. The unrivalled range of services enables the Broker Academy to cater for all learning styles and training preferences.

Who is behind the initiative?
The Broker Academy has been developed by the CII’s Faculty of Broking in partnership with AXA and BIBA. This is the first time that the industry has collaborated to create a market-wide learning and development solution for brokers. It is truly a case of "by the industry, for the industry".

What is the aim?
The purpose of the Broker Academy is to support the drive to raise standards and enhance levels of knowledge and understanding across the industry.
The Broker Academy provides access to the CII’s unrivalled range of broker-specific training solutions. Crucially, it helps users match these services to individual development needs through the ‘Excellence Framework’. The Framework identifies specific competences (skills, knowledge and abilities) for a broad range of broker job roles and matches against these the corresponding training solutions provided by the CII.

Face to Face training One of the key elements of the Broker Academy is the development of a regional face-to-face training programme, which has been devised and developed in consultation with brokers, and brings practical training solutions to locations across the UK.

The training is delivered by Searchlight through our team of leading market practitioners in a stimulating, challenging and rewarding environment.
