Welcome to
Kolkata Insurance Institute
Insurance education movement was started from East India, from Kolkata. The reason may be previously Calcutta was the capital of India and the cultural atmosphere of Calcutta as the best due to British infiltration. People of here became curious for more & more knowledge. This soil produced many insurance stalwarts and maximum number of Insurance Companies were established.
C.P.D
The need of having a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Programme in India post Certification needs no emphasis. Practically, once a person becomes a Fellow or Assosiate of the Insurance Institute of India the journey ends there. There is no system to motivate a Fellow or Associate to update his professional knowledge. III’s CPD is designed as a system to motivate its Associate and Fellow members to update their professional knowledge. III’s CPD is also a system for rewarding Associates and Fellows who are actually involved in furthering the cause of Insurance professionalism through academics and practice.
In essence, III’s CPD program is a system to enable insurance practitionars to maintain and improve their knowledge, skills and personal efficiency for acheiving higher levels of professional excellence.
