We are currently accepting applications for Broker School in 2020 and 2021.
ITAC’s Broker School allows candidates to complete the program online (there will be a couple of live sessions via webinar for interview and consult). If your interview for Broker School is successful, the learning program will be laid out for you within a timeframe that works for you but also aligns with job interviews with potential employers.
The Learning Program includes:
- Fundamentals of Insurance training to help candidates prepare for the General Insurance Licensing Examination which is to be successfully completed before the next phase of training (Technical training for Brokers).
- Training is focused on entry-level insurance broker skills including a basic working knowledge of Broker Management Systems (BMS) (e.g. PowerBroker and Applied Epic / TAM), portal basics, customer service skills, and professionalism training. Upon completion of the training program, ITAC Inc. will assist successful candidates in obtaining interview opportunities for full time employment with local brokerages (locations available across NS, NB, PEI, & NFLD).
The Opportunities are out there
Insurance Brokerages across the Atlantic provinces are seeking professionally trained and competent brokers to work for their businesses. ITAC Inc. is finding these highly demanded workers and providing initial training to increase the chances of a successful hire. By running the candidate through Broker School, the desired outcome is not only that the candidate gets a job but also that the employer gains an industry-ready employee that’s ready to work at a professional level and able to take on the further learning opportunities.
