CCIB

If you've already attained your CAIB or AIIC designation, or if you have extensive insurance-industry experience including advanced knowledge of commercial-lines products and risk management, you're able to earn a Canadian Certified Insurance Broker (CCIB) designation. This national designation is the mark of peak insurance-broker knowledge and experience.

CCIB is a self-study program that requires candidates to challenge three rigorous exams, which are all in-depth and experience-based. There are no textbooks to study from, but you may refresh and enhance your knowledge by using CAIBs 1, 2, 3 and 4 as study tools.

Part 1	Essay-Based Examination 3.5-hour written examination Comprised of 10, 10-mark case-study-style questions Tests the application of technical knowledge and risk management
Part 2	Short-Answer Examination 2-hour verbal examination, face-to-face with an examiner Short-answer questions Tests technical knowledge
If you're unsuccessful with either the written exam or the verbal exam (Parts 1 or 2), you're given the opportunity to challenge that part again at a later date without academic penalty.
Part 3	Survey Examination Successful completion of both Parts 1 and 2 is a prerequisite to challenge the survey exam 5-hour open-book written exam, in which you'll prepare an insurance proposal.

CCIB exams can only be scheduled under special arrangement with the IBABC licensing-course coordinator. And because special arrangements must be made, fees, deferral fees and cancellation fees apply to all CCIB exams. No exceptions.
