The General Insurance Certificate (GIC) Program is intended to prepare students to become front-line general insurance office assistants. Graduates of this program will be able to offer employers a combination of insurance knowledge, office skills, and practical knowledge, which will make them productive employees immediately.
The program includes: office skills, computer skills, components of the Canadian Accredited Insurance Broker (CAIB) program, and a two-week practicum. In order to graduate, students must also complete the ICBC Autoplan training provided by the Insurance Corporation of B.C. offered as an 1-week seminar during the program. Graduates will be eligible for Level 1 licensing from the Insurance Council of B.C., which is required in order to sell general insurance in B.C.
