IF3 – assessment
IF3 is an interesting subject unit, which focuses on the underwriting process. IF3 builds on the foundation knowledge gained in IF1 (compulsory unit) & product knowledge gained in IF2 (General Insurance business).

IF3 counts towards achieving the Certificate in Insurance (Cert CII). IF3 consists of a two-hour, multiple-choice exam based on 75 questions.

The CII Certificate in Insurance is a core qualification for insurance staff working across all sectors of the insurance profession. It provides a fundamental grounding of the key insurance principles and includes the regulatory environment.

The CII generally recommends 60 hours of study time for IF3.

Learning objectives:

• Introduction to the study/exam techniques required for IF3
• Highlight key areas of the IF3 exam syllabus
• Build on foundation insurance knowledge gained in IF1
• Understand how to approach multiple choice questions
