The executive decision of 25 June 2019 has converted the minimum knowledge requirements of the Insurance Distribution Directive Act (IDD) into a new examination structure consisting of 4 modules:

• a basic module covering the general knowledge requirements.
• three specialized modules, one for each category of insurance product that can be offered.

The objective of this training is to :

• enable you to acquire sufficient technical and legal knowledge of insurance to provide proof of the required professional knowledge;
• enable you to pass the examination in accordance with the knowledge requirements in this subject matter;
• provide you with a certificate of successful examination after training.

All material (syllabi, training questions and exam)  is available in English.

The new examination structure has taken effect as from January 1, 2021. 

Price per module:  (syllabi, exercises with exam): 250€ member price / 300€ non-member price

EXAM INFORMATION

Structure

Each different submodule has a separate exam. Each exam per submodule consists of 20 multiple choice questions (no guessing correction).  An exam session lasts a maximum of 3 hours. It takes about 30 minutes to complete a submodule. Thus the system allows you to take a maximum of 6 exams in one exam session. To succeed, you must achieve a minimum score of 60% per submodule.

Dates

The exam dates are only available on your own account within our digital learning platform. You will be given access to our digital learning platform after the payment and processing of your registration. Syllabi and exercises are made available to you as soon as we have received your payment. We schedule a number of exam moments each week. You indicate yourself when you wish to take the exam. You can change the chosen date free of charge up to 5 calendar days before the exam.

Results

In the event of positive results, you will receive a certificate on your digital learning platform, recognized by the FSMA, proving that you have passed the exam and that you have the required technical knowledge.

If you have not passed one or more exams, you can register for your retake via our digital learning platform. On choosing a new date, a period of 15 days must be respected. This period of 15 days starts from the day following the date of the exam for which you did not pass. For example: if you take the exam on the 1st of September, you can retake the exam after the 16th of September.
