Cyber insurance training and certification: the questions we get most
Everything people ask before they enrol. If yours is not here, we answer email the same day.
Get CertifiedWhat is cyber insurance training, and who is it for?
Cyber insurance training teaches insurance professionals how cyber risk works and how it is insured: the threats and controls behind a submission, the policy wording, the coverages and exclusions, and how a claim actually plays out. Our courses are built for brokers, agents, underwriters, claims handlers, risk managers and compliance teams - the people who sell, price and settle cyber cover - rather than for IT departments.
What is the Certified Cyber Insurance Specialist (CCIS) certification?
The CCIS is the Academy's flagship cyber insurance certification and the credential the market already recognises. It is one online, self-paced course of around 40 hours followed by a proctored exam, and it covers cyber risk end to end: technology taught from zero, underwriting and pricing, policy wording, claims, and how AI is changing all four. Version 2 threads AI through all ten modules.
Do I need a technical background to take a cyber insurance course?
No. There are no prerequisites and no technical background is assumed. Every technology module is taught from zero for insurance professionals - nobody is asked to code, configure a firewall or read a packet capture. If you can read a policy, you can take this course.
How long does it take to become cyber insurance certified?
The certification is about 40 hours of material. Most people finish in three to four months at roughly three hours a week, and you have twelve months of access to do it at your own pace. Shorter certificate courses run from three hours, so you can close one specific gap in an afternoon.
Do your courses count for CE credits and CPD hours?
Yes. Our cyber insurance courses carry continuing education and CPD recognition, and the certification is worth up to 50 CE/CPD credits towards your obligations. Credits are claimed through the body that regulates you, and your record lives on your dashboard so you can export it when you are asked for it.
Is the Cyber Insurance Academy accredited?
Yes. Our certification is accredited by the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) in the UK, the Registered Insurance Brokers of Ontario (RIBO), and ANZIIF and NIBA in Australia and New Zealand, and it is CE-accredited in more than 45 US states. The Academy is part of EC-Council, the cybersecurity certification body behind CEH.
What is the difference between a certification and a certificate course?
A certification is examined: you complete the required course, sit a proctored online exam, and earn a credential that is verifiable, renewed annually and recertified every three years on continuing education. A certificate course is shorter and assessed by a final assessment rather than an exam - you keep the certificate of completion, it earns CE credit, and there is nothing to renew.
Do you cover AI risk in insurance?
Yes, and increasingly it is the point. AI now runs through the specialist certification as a thread rather than a module, and the CAIIP - Certified AI Insurance Practitioner - is a full certification for the brokers, underwriters and claims teams meeting AI in submissions, wordings and claims. Its courses are available today and count towards the certification when it opens.
Can my company certify a whole team?
Yes. Teams get volume pricing on one invoice, a manager dashboard showing who has started, finished and certified, exam vouchers held in a pool, and CE reporting you can hand to compliance. Tell us how many people you need to certify and we will come back with pricing and a plan.
