Ist eine Weiterbildung zum Versicherungsvertreter anerkannt?

Eine bestandene Abschlussprüfung zum Versicherungsvertreter kann Ihnen das Zertifikat „Versicherungsvermittler VBV“ einbringen, welches vom Berufsbildungsverband der Versicherungswirtschaft ausgestellt und anerkannt wird. Zudem ist dieses Zertifikat von der FINMA, der eidgenössischen Finanzmarktaufsicht, anerkannt und zur Registrierung als Versicherungsvermittler zulässig. Diese Registrierung ist vonnöten, wenn Sie als unabhängiger Versicherungsvermittler tätig werden möchten. FVPS FinanzplanerVerband Schweiz und SFPO Swiss Financial Planners Organization Mitglieder profitieren zudem von acht Weiterbildungspunkten je besuchtem Präsenztag.

Ist es auch möglich, ganz ohne Kenntnisse der Versicherungsbranche, den Lehrgang zum Versicherungsvertreter zu besuchen?

Es ist durchaus möglich, auch ohne Berufserfahrung als Versicherungsvermittler oder in einem anderen Bereich der Versicherungswirtschaft den Lehrgang zum Versicherungsvermittler VBV zu besuchen. Bedenken sollten Sie dabei jedoch, dass Sie in einem solchen Fall zusätzliche Zeit für das Selbststudium mit einplanen müssen, um die Anforderungen der Prüfungen erfüllen zu können. Sprechen Sie am besten noch vor der Anmeldung mit einem Verantwortlichen der Schulen über Ihr Anliegen. Sie erreichen den richtigen Ansprechpartner direkt über unser Kontaktformular oder können bei einigen Bildungsanbietern auch direkt eine Frage stellen.

Ich arbeite bereits seit einem Jahr als Versicherungsvertreter. Kann ich einen verkürzten Kurs zum Versicherungsvermittler VBV Zertifikat machen?

Personen mit mindestens zwei Jahren Berufserfahrung als Versicherungsvertreter / Versicherungsvermittler können nach einem bestandenen Zulassungstest an einer verkürzten Ausbildung zum VBV Zertifikat teilnehmen. Mit einem Jahr Berufserfahrung ist diese Bedingung nicht erfüllt, so dass Sie die klassische Kursvariante wählen müssen, in der Sie grundlegendes Wissen zur Versicherungsbranche und der Versicherungsvermittlung erlangen.

Findet der Lehrgang zum Versicherungsvertreter berufsbegleitend statt?

Der Lehrgang zum Versicherungsvertreter umfasst etwa 20 Tage, bei einigen Schulen auch etwas weniger und findet oftmals an einem Tag in der Woche sowie samstags statt. Die Kursdaten können jedoch von Anbieter zu Anbieter recht unterschiedlich sein, so dass es notwendig ist, dass Sie sich direkt an die einzelnen Bildungsanbieter wenden, um die aktuellen Kursdaten zu erfragen. Einfach und unverbindlich ist dies auch über unser Kontaktformular möglich, welches Sie unterhalb jedes Schulportraits finden.

Insurance agent - your career goal?

Training or further training to become an insurance agent or insurance broker enables you to offer insurance contracts to private individuals or companies and, ideally, to conclude the contracts. This task requires a great deal of specialist knowledge and personal skills. On the one hand, insurance brokers must be able to explain the existing risks to their customers and point out the advantages, opportunities and security of the contracts. On the other hand, qualities such as persuasiveness and communication are required in order to be able to carry out this work confidently and convince customers of the various contracts. People who want to train as insurance agents must therefore be talented speakers, enjoy interacting with other people and have a healthy level of self-confidence.

During your training as an insurance broker, you will be trained in subjects such as law, insurance economics and customer advice. This gives you sound specialist knowledge in the insurance industry, which you can always fall back on in your day-to-day work. Are you interested in training to become an insurance agent? The training lasts around 20 attendance days, although this can vary greatly depending on the school where you are training. Of course, there is also self-study and an oral and written final examination.

On the Swiss education portal you will find first-class providers and schools with offers on this and many other topics from the insurance industry. Find out more about the insurance agent course free of charge and without obligation.

Questions and answers

Is continuing education,, further training as an insurance agent recognized?

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.

Is it possible to attend the insurance agent course without any knowledge of the insurance industry?

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.

I have already been working as an insurance agent for a year. Can I do a shortened course to become an insurance broker VBV certificate?

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.

Does the insurance agent course take place on a part-time basis?

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.
