Member Designations
Membership titles you can use
CII membership designations are recognised throughout the global
insurance market as indicators of achievement, knowledge and
professional aspiration. For many individuals, their CII
designation is a prime motivator for membership of the CII.
Members may use a designation - on personal communications
such as business cards, stationery, email sign-offs, etc. -
after completing a CII qualification. Over 74,000 individuals in
more than 150 countries proudly display their designation to
distinguish them from the mass of individuals working in insurance.
Within the CII qualified community, some 21,000 hold the premier
individual title, Chartered status.
CII designations cover the full range of qualifications on
offer. In many instances, there are sector or discipline-specific
options to enable members to indicate their area of
specialism.
