AQF Certificate IV in General Insurance

The FNS41422 Certificate IV in General Insurance training package has superseded the FNS41420 Certificate IV in General Insurance training package.  For more information you can contact [email protected].

Each unit aims to develop specific technical, analytical and interpersonal knowledge and skills required to: 

• effectively provide support in handling and investigating customer insurance claims
• prepare and maintain relevant documentation
• answer customer inquiries.

On completion, students will also have developed:

• solid workplace relationship-building and communication skills
• a good understanding of the general insurance industry and the General Insurance Code of Practice.

Insurance professionals can focus on specific areas they wish to develop by taking units as standalone short courses — or, if desired, units can be combined to attain the full Certificate IV in General Insurance.

‘The training has really aided me in my role as a claims examiner. I was able to apply what I was learning into my job straight away and I found that my existing job skills enhanced my learning experience.’  - Bianca Parussolo, Claims Team Leader (Australia)   'Since completing the Certificate IV in General Insurance with ANZIIF, I've become more confident and efficient in my role, and believe the skills and knowledge acquired have contributed to my success as an Underwriter.' - Crystal O'Keefe, Senior Underwriter (Australia)
