Clients base their insurance decisions not just on price and coverage but also on the reputation of the brokerage and the quality of its customer relations.

As a Customer Service Representative (CSR), your direct contact with clients places you in an ideal position to retain clients, build the client base through referrals, and cross-sell additional products and services, according to the needs of your clients.

Self-Study with a Mentor

Work through the program at your own pace with the assistance of a mentor who can provide guidance, usually a manager or owner from your brokerage. This relationship can be as formal or informal as you and your mentor wish. For example, some choose to have weekly study sessions, while other mentors may make themselves available should questions arise.

The end of each module includes a summary and review of the text, including multiple choice and short answer questions. Your mentor reviews your answers to these questions, verifies your successful completion of the module, and forwards the verification to IBAA for certificate purposes.

The registration form requires you to designate a mentor and his or her contact information so we can ship the mentor materials.

Certification

Upon completion of the first module, you will receive a Certificate of Completion, with a sticker that indicates the module completed, from the Insurance Brokers Association of Canada (IBAC). For each additional module successfully completed, you will receive the applicable sticker.
