Insurance agent - your career goal?

Questions and answers

Persons with at least two years of professional experience as an insurance agent / insurance broker can take part in a shortened training course for the VBV certificate after passing an admission test. With one year of professional experience, this condition is not fulfilled, so you must choose the classic course variant, in which you gain basic knowledge of the insurance industry and insurance brokerage.

It is perfectly possible to attend the VBV insurance broker course even without professional experience as an insurance broker or in another area of the insurance industry. However, you should bear in mind that in this case you will have to plan additional time for self-study in order to meet the requirements of the examinations. It is best to speak to a person responsible at the schools about your concerns before you register. You can reach the right contact person directly via our contact form or, in the case of some education providers, you can also ask a question directly.

The course to become an insurance agent lasts around 20 days, or slightly less at some schools, and often takes place one day a week and on Saturdays. However, the course dates can vary considerably from provider to provider, so it is necessary for you to contact the individual training providers directly to find out the current course dates. This can also be done easily and without obligation using our contact form, which you will find below each school profile.

Passing the final examination to become an insurance agent can earn you the "Insurance Broker VBV" certificate, which is issued and recognized by the Vocational Training Association of the Insurance Industry. This certificate is also recognized by FINMA, the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority, and is permitted for registration as an insurance intermediary. This registration is required if you wish to work as an independent insurance intermediary. FVPS Swiss Financial Planners Association and SFPO Swiss Financial Planners Organization members also benefit from eight continuing education points for each day of attendance.
