Education

The GII encourages and supports members to achieve CII (the UK based Chartered Institute of Insurance) insurance qualifications.

The CII is the leading professional body for the global financial services profession. It exists to promote higher standards of integrity, technical competence and business capability. With over 115,000 members in more than 150 countries, the CII is the world’s largest professional body dedicated to insurance and financial services.

The qualifications they offer range from entry level introductory courses through to Fellowship accreditation, and can be tailored to suit your specific needs.

The Gibraltar Insurance Institute recently improved access to these qualifications by working with the Government of Gibraltar, the CII and the Bleak House Training Institute to enable candidates to take their exams online. This provides monthly opportunities to take your exam, and, for multiple choice exams, an immediate result.

The GII also organises revision courses for CII exams where the number of candidates mean these are viable.

Our education team also work closely with the schools and college in Gibraltar to promote insurance as a career choice for young people.
