Overview

College Diploma in Business - Insurance (Optional Co-op)

If you want to help people when they need it the most, you will find a rewarding career in the insurance industry. 

The universal need for insurance results in an industry characterized by growth, global reach and presence in almost every community. 

Approximately $30 billion is paid annually to Canadians for medical treatment, loss of wages, repairs to damaged property or the replacement of goods and services. 

Careers in insurance offer stability and significant opportunities for advancement. 

Conestoga’s two-year diploma program will give you broad exposure to business practices within the insurance industry. 

Areas of study within property and casualty coverage include agency claims and investigation, underwriting, marketing and management. 

An optional co-op work term provides authentic, professionally-relevant work experience. 

Connecting theory with practice will allow you to develop a broad base of occupational skills, embrace key concepts and terminology within the field and expose you to networking opportunities. 

In addition, you will have the opportunity to gain nine of the ten credits required for the Chartered Insurance Professional (CIP) designation from the Insurance Institute of Canada. 

You may also register for the CIP national exams at an additional cost to receive credentials awarded by the Institute.

Pursue a career within the insurance industry and make a difference in the lives of those in your community. 

The optional co-op stream includes one co-op work term.
