Do you want to take your career to the next level?
ANZIIF offers online, interactive short courses, called Skills Units, as well as a range of distance learning modules. Our education is built around active learning so that you can apply your knowledge in practice to improve everyday work and subsequently enhance business performance.

ANZIIF Skills Unit FAQs

When can I enrol?
Can I choose my own exam date?
Will I be completing the most current version of the qualification?
Yes, our qualifications are mapped against national competency standards as found in the relevant training packages of the AQF (Australian Qualifications Framework).
Training package requirements can change every 4 – 5 years to reflect updated industry requirements. All training providers must adhere to these regulatory changes. When a training package is updated, new units may be added to the qualification and equally, some units may become superseded.
If you are starting or finishing studies when a new training package is about to take effect, our website will contain information about the changes and impact to your studies.
Do I have to be employed in the industry to enrol?
Our courses are for those who are new to the industry or already in the industry.
Individuals who are new to the industry or to studies are recommended to spend additional time with the learning resources. See more at 'What is the recommended study time for each skills unit?'
I am not a member of ANZIIF, can I still enrol?
ANZIIF membership is not a pre-requite to studying with us. Our courses are available to everyone.
While you are studying with us, you may also receive complimentary Student membership. Student members will receive access to the professional development hub where you can access articles and quizzes to supplement your learning.

How long does it take to complete a qualification?
A minimum of six months to two years. This will vary based upon the number of skills units required to complete the qualification (refer to the qualification webpage) and how you choose to plan your studies.
As a guide, a Certificate IV level qualification can take between 6 months to two years and a Diploma level qualification can take between one to two years. For example, the Certificate IV in General Insurance contains 12 units, and each unit is 5 weeks in duration. If you prefer to enrol in one unit at a time, you are likely to complete your qualification in 60 weeks. If you prefer to overlap your studies or enrol in two units per study period, you are likely to complete your qualification in 30 weeks. Your individual preference of enrolling in one unit at a time, overlapping your study periods or enrolling in two units per study period will determine how long (or short) it takes.
Your individual performance in each unit will also contribute to this.
You may need to allow for regulatory training package changes which are outside of ANZIIF’s control.
Will I need to enrol and pay upfront for the whole qualification?
