Degree Programmes for Financial Services Professionals
ACII Qualified?
Would you like to add an Honours Degree to your professional qualification?
If you have answered YES to these questions, the INSURANCE PATHWAY could be for you.
The Insurance Pathway enables Associates of the Chartered Insurance Institute to obtain a B.A. Honours Degree in Financial Services after 12-18 months part-time study by distance learning. In addition, graduation brings with it a route to the award of Fellowship of the Chartered Insurance Institute (FCII) as follows:
For post-1992 Associates
Successful completion of the Insurance Pathway programme can be regarded as the ‘major achievement’ element of your application for election to Fellowship of the CII.
For pre-1992 Associates
Successful completion of the Insurance Pathway programme can be regarded as the ‘top-up’ required to obtain equivalence with the post-1992 ACII qualification.

The only pre-requisite is that you are an Associate of the Chartered Insurance Institute (ACII) by examination, regardless of the date of completion or the syllabus followed.
