NIBA College Education and Training Services

Range of College Services

NIBA College specialises in providing national qualifications and ongoing professional development programs for those in the insurance and risk sector.

NIBA College is run and managed by the peak trade association in the sector - the National Insurance Brokers Association of Australia (NIBA). NIBA set up what has now become NIBA College in 1991 to meet the training needs of its broker members. Since that early beginning, the College has expanded its programs to cater for others in related areas including general and life insurance and financial planning. The College's educational services are open to all industry participants not just NIBA member firm employees.

Programs are accessible via the NIBA College website anywhere in the world. Individuals can enroll in programs at any time of the year. Importantly, College qualifications and CPD programs meet the training compliance standards set by industry regulators such as the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.
