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

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.

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.

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.

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.
