Insurance consulting - an interesting field of activity
Questions and answers
Is training in insurance consulting federally recognized?
A course in insurance consulting does not lead to a federal qualification. However, in addition to basic training (apprenticeship), federally recognized qualifications include a Federal Professional Examination, such as Social Insurance Specialist with Federal Diploma of Higher Education, Insurance Specialist with Federal Diploma of Higher Education or Health Insurance Specialist with Federal Diploma of Higher Education. Advanced Federal Professional Examinations (AFPE) are also federally recognized, as are university courses leading to a Bachelor's or Master's degree (e.g. claims lawyer).
How long does the training in insurance and consulting take?
The duration of training in insurance consulting can vary depending on the school, degree and target group.
The "Insurance Broker VBV" course takes around six months to complete.
We therefore recommend that you contact the school of your choice directly via our contact form or use the "Ask a question" button to get in touch with the right contact person.
What qualification do I receive after a course in insurance consulting?
After successfully completing the training in insurance and consulting, you will receive a certificate, depending on the type of course, for example as an "Insurance Broker VBV".
What training do I need to become an insurance advisor?
If you do not have a Federal VET Diploma in Private Insurance and would now like to enter the insurance industry as an insurance advisor, continuing education, further training as an insurance intermediary (VBV) from the Vocational Training Association of the Swiss Insurance Industry is an excellent option. You can find providers where you can complete this course here on Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch.
