If you enjoy working in the insurance industry and may already have a background in insurance, training or further education in insurance brokerage is an interesting option for your career. Insurance brokers mainly work with insurance contracts of all kinds. They offer insurance contracts to private individuals and smaller companies and, in the best case, also conclude these contracts.

Character traits such as openness, honesty and credibility are essential for becoming an insurance intermediary. As an insurance intermediary, you also need to have good communication skills and persuasive powers and enjoy interacting with other people. You will acquire the specialist knowledge you need for this job during your training in insurance brokerage. You will be trained in subjects such as law, the insurance industry and customer advice.

Questions and answers

To complete the VBV insurance broker course, you do not necessarily need experience in insurance brokerage or in another area of the insurance industry. The course is also suitable for people who want to acquire special knowledge in order to be able to work in insurance brokerage and insurance consulting in the future. In addition to newcomers to the industry, the seminar is also recommended for brokers already working in the insurance industry or sales representatives who want to obtain a recognized certificate.

The final examination of the Insurance Broker VBV course is divided into a written and an oral examination. The written examination takes place twice a year in examination centers and covers knowledge of the insurance industry, social and personal insurance as well as liability insurance, property insurance and other asset insurance for businesses and private households, as well as legal knowledge. In the oral examination for the insurance brokerage certificate, candidates can choose between the topics "Small businesses" and "Private households: Self-employed persons, families, individuals" and have to go through an advisory and sales situation in a fictitious customer meeting.

Depending on the provider where you start your insurance brokerage course, the duration of the continuing education, further training can vary, but is usually around five months with around 20 days of attendance.

The continuing education, further training in insurance mediation is modular and comprises a total of seven modules. These are: Insurance liability, social insurance, personal insurance, customer advice, asset insurance, property insurance, as well as legal knowledge with a focus on supervisory law, Swiss Code of Obligations, insurance law and brokerage law.

For people who have several years of experience in insurance brokerage and have therefore already learned and put into practice a large part of the knowledge taught in a course, the schools offer special "professional" courses that start with an entrance examination/assessment test and, if passed, lead to the certificate examination in just seven course days.
