Questions and answers

Um den Lehrgang zum Versicherungsvermittler VBV absolvieren zu können, benötigen Sie nicht zwingend Erfahrung in der Versicherungsvermittlung oder in einem anderen Bereich der Versicherungsbranche. Der Kurs eignet sich auch für Personen, die sich spezielles Wissen aneignen möchten, um zukünftig in der Vermittlung und Versicherungsberatung tätig werden zu können. Neben Branchenneulingen empfiehlt sich das Seminar jedoch auch für bereits im Versicherungswesen tätige Makler oder Aussendienstmitarbeitende, die ein anerkanntes Zertifikat erlangen wollen.

Für Personen, die über mehrjährige Erfahrung in der Versicherungsvermittlung verfügen und demnach einen Grossteil des in einem Kurs vermittelten Wissens bereits erlernt und praktisch umgesetzt haben, bieten die Schulen spezielle „Profi“ Kurse an, die mit einer Zutrittsprüfung / einem Assessment-Test starten und bei Bestehen in nur sieben Kurstagen zur Zertifikatsprüfung führen.

Die Abschlussprüfung des Lehrgangs Versicherungsvermittler VBV gliedert sich in eine schriftliche sowie eine mündliche Prüfung. Die schriftliche Prüfung findet zweimal jährlich in Prüfungszentren statt und beinhaltet Kenntnisse rund um die Versicherungswirtschaft, Sozial- und Personenversicherungen sowie Haftpflichtversicherungen, Sachversicherungen und andere Vermögensversicherungen für Gewerbe und private Haushalte, sowie Rechtskenntnisse. In der mündlichen Prüfung für das Versicherungsvermittlung Zertifikat können die Prüflinge zwischen den Themen „Kleine Unternehmen“ sowie „Private Haushalte: Selbständigerwerbende, Familien, Einzelpersonen“ wählen und müssen in einem fiktiven Kundengespräch eine Beratungs- und Verkaufssituation durchlaufen.

Je nach Anbieter, bei dem Sie Ihren Lehrgang in der Versicherungsvermittlung beginnen, kann die Dauer der Weiterbildung variieren, beläuft sich jedoch meist auf etwa fünf Monate mit rund 20 Präsenztagen.

Die Weiterbildung in der Versicherungsvermittlung ist modular aufgebaut und umfasst insgesamt sieben Module. Diese sind: Versicherungswirtshaft, Sozialversicherung, Personenversicherung, Kundenberatung, Vermögensversicherung, Sachversicherung, sowie Rechtskenntnisse mit den Themenschwerpunkten Aufsichtsrecht, Obligationenrecht, Versicherungsrecht sowie Vermittlerrecht.
