The Institute has successfully effected another syllabus review and commenced
its implementation from the October, 2007 examination diet. The new syllabus
offers a three-tier qualifications framework, namely:
1. Certificate in Insurance
2. Diploma in Insurance
3. Advanced Diploma in Insurance
The Institute has provided coursebooks which are an indispensable and integral
part of the study programme for the examination. A guided study and
understanding of the books should constitute a measure of preparation and
success in the examinations. We wish to emphasize that it is essential for all
examination students to purchase the relevant coursebooks in order to be able to
prepare comprehensively and adequately for the examination.

Introduction Contd
128
It is my continual pleasure being part of efforts geared at developing the
professional examination of the Institute in line with international standards.
The current syllabus review is the second since the Institute commenced its
professional examination in 1989. The first syllabus ran from April 1989 to year
2000 when it became apparent that the parity in exemptions which the Institute
enjoyed with The Chartered Insurance Institute (UK) was no longer feasible
because the CII (UK) had changed its syllabus, resulting in a gap between the
examination structures of the two Institutes.
I am delighted by the successful take off of the new syllabus, and believe
strongly in the benefits of the flexible and learner-friendly dispensation for
acquisition of insurance qualifications by persons who are desirous of working in
todays complex and dynamic market.

As can be seen from the diagram provided on page 1 , the qualifications
Diploma and Advanced Diploma sit in two tiers above the Certificate in
Insurance. The tiers, like stair cases, indicate a climb to a higher level
qualification.
Entry Requirements
The CIIN qualification for entry at the Certificate level are the same as the
prescribed general requirements for REGISTRATION outlined in 4 and the Entry
Standards stipulated in 7 .
However, the entry requirements for the higher level qualifications consist of
Record of Achievement awarded upon completion of the required units of the
Certificate level (for entry in the Diploma level) and completion of the required
units of the Diploma level (for entry in the Advanced Diploma level),
respectively.
These measures are in place to ensure that candidates study at a level that
matches their ability, and recognise the fact that the higher level qualifications
require a degree of prior knowledge, gained either through earlier study or work
experience.
It is important to note that candidates wishing to select more than one unit from
a higher level qualification must first meet the entry requirements for the
qualification in question.

This approach has been adopted to ensure maximum flexibility, with candidates
able to choose different units from the 41 currently available, subject to the
compulsory unit requirements, within each qualification. This also provides
access to the maximum range of units giving candidates, the ability to tailor their
learning activity to individual needs and job roles, and to prepare for further
study at a higher level.
Measuring Progress
As progress is made, a Record of Achievement is awarded upon completion of
each unit. Once the necessary credits have been accumulated, the full
qualification is awarded.
When in doubt, candidates should seek further clarification from the Directorate of
Examinations of the CIIN.
