The main purpose of this site is to create a central domain in which all Canadian insurance professionals whom are studying, preparing and participating in either the distinguished CIP and FCIP insurance professional designation programs, may interact and share course resources and past exams. Furthermore, this site offers career and job search, up to date insurance industry news and a discussion forum wherein students can talk about all things that are CIP related and learn!

The CharteredInsurance Professional (CIP) designation is granted by the the Insurance Institute of Canada (IIC) to insurance agents in the property and casualty insurance segments in Canada. The designation was created to promote a standard in the field and gives underwriting, claim and broker professional standing in the field for the benefit of both employers and clients. It is designed to teach and equip each graduating student with a solid learning of technical expertise and it is recognized throughout Canada and internationally.

The program has been designed and the content of the courses has been determined by committees of working insurance professionals and CIP graduates. It is, therefore, the Canadian insurance industry's own standard. Insurance people from the various sectors of the industry have written the text material.

For many insurance professionals in Canada, the CIP Insurance Program is a logical endpoint to their technical insurance education. Many graduates want to continue their professional development with business-related courses at the university level or further their knowledge at an advanced level in one of the insurance majors. The Insurance Institute created the Fellowship program for these CIP professionals.
