Insurance Broking Induction

NIBA College has developed an online induction course that is free for all members.

NIBA College has converted the very popular “Introduction to Insurance Broking” from its previous seminar format to an online program which is now available free of charge.

This induction program provides new employees with a basic understanding of the principles of insurance, the role of insurance brokers, and the regulations governing the financial services industry. The course is designed to allow learners to work through the presentations at their own pace, repeating or consulting certain sections of the course at any time. It is offered online and consists of video presentations and multiple choice tests to check learning.

If you would like to enrol in the course to see if it is right for your staff or you have new starters you think would benefit, find out more by emailing elearning@nibacollege.com.au.

Training Requirements

There is a general licensing condition in the legislation that requires all representatives and responsible officers to be trained adequately for the jobs they undertake. This applies to advisers dealing with wholesale and retail clients as well as managers, administration and customer service staff.ASIC has set specific minimum training standards for licensees and responsible managers and retail advisers in Regulatory Guide 146.

ASIC requires representatives to meet training standards in two areas:

  • Educational qualifications; and
  • Ongoing training or continuing professional development (CPD).

ASIC recommends that licensees use their standards as a guide in planning training for representatives providing financial services other than retail product advice.

NIBA College plays an important role in education for the broking and intermediary sector, providing specialised broking qualifications for everyone from new entrants right through to Responsible Officers and Licensees.
