In the conventional sense, continuing education, further training as an insurance intermediary VBV is not part-time, if you mean classes in the evenings or at weekends. Nevertheless, it is perfectly possible to continue working alongside the course, as the courses take place in day blocks. This means that you can attend the insurance training course one or two days a week and continue to work on the other days.

In addition to a course for newcomers or those switching to insurance brokerage, there are also courses for established professionals, which last a total of seven days. However, you will only be admitted to such a course if you pass the assessment test, for which you need at least two years of professional experience as an insurance intermediary. You can obtain further information on this directly from the relevant training providers.

Depending on the course model chosen, training to become an insurance intermediary VBV takes up to six months (14 days spread over the months).
