There are two categories of CPD listed on the register:
Progams are listed in two ways on the register
NIBA will list programs on the register that they believe are programs of benefit for the Insurance and Risk sector. Any program that adds to the constructive development of their membership will be considered for listing and promotion, not limited to just product and process programs.
Programs accredited by NIBA College for the CPD Register must meet the training criteria outlined below. Most programs will be awarded the one point per contact hour with a maximum of 10 points per session and 12 points per convention or conference. Some activities may receive fewer points if the program does not fully meet all the criteria. For example, industry lunches with a key note speaker receive a standard 30 minute rating.
Courses must meet the following criteria whether the program is a public or in-house event:
NIBA has developed its own quality education criteria against which programs can be assessed. The criteria covers all aspects of the education program;
We believe the assessment provides potential participants with some assurance of the quality and educational experience the programs provide, in addition, as a result of the NIBA assessment, these programs attract significantly higher CPD points then the Standard listing – good for time poor participants seeking to meet their annual CPD point requirement.
Back to topMost programs listed under the standard category are given 1 point per contact hour with a maximum of 10 points per session and 12 points per convention. Programs accredited by NIBA College for the CPD Register must meet the training criteria outlined for standard listing. Some activities may receive fewer points if the program does not fully meet all the criteria.
If you have your program quality assessed it will have additional points based on the quality.

To have your program listed on the register it will take up to seven (7) working days from reciept of payment. Quality Assessment will take ten (10) working days.
Your promotional material may include reference to your NIBA College CPD Register listing after this time.
Back to topTo have you program on the register the process is much the same. You still need to complete an application form on line. Once this is done you will be notified when you program is on the register or if we need more information.

Back to topCertificates of attendance must be given out at the conclusion of the seminar. Participants who only attend part of the program must have the time adjusted to reflect their actual attendance.
Back to topIf your organisation has already obtained a listing for a course there is no need to re-list the program unless it has substantially altered. It is acceptable to change the speakers or presenters of the course provided the new presenter is technically qualified to teach the programme.
Back to topIt is NIBA College’s normal policy that both breakfast and luncheon addresses have a CPD rating of 30 minutes.
You can claim time the participants spend in session, but session breaks and social functions cannot be counted.
Back to topOnly those parts of broker meetings which are structured training sessions, dealing with a business or insurance topic, can be claimed towards an individual’s annual CPD requirements.
The organiser of the broker meetings will need to apply for the program to be listed on the NIBA College CPD register for those parts of any meeting that are structured training rather than general discussion.
Back to topPrograms organised by your organisation for your staff only can still be listed on the register. However they will not come up in a search.
Back to topYou need to ensure that all attendees wishing to claim this activity are supplied with a personalised record of attendance stating the:
Only structured training programs will be given a rating. Product launches and events that are mainly for the promotion of a particular product or company do not fit the CPD criteria for accredited programs.
