The Chartered Insurance Institute (also known as the CII) is a United Kingdom based professional organisation for those working in the insurance and financial services industry.

The Institute provides accreditation and professional qualifications to UK and International members. Current (designated) qualifications include (in ascending level order); Cert CII, Dip CII, ACII & FCII (Chartered). These titles may be used by any person upon completion of the required level of qualification and confirmation from the institute.

Every CII member in the UK is also a member of a local institute. There are currently 61 local institutes across the UK, plus 7 associated institutes in the Republic of Ireland.

If you become a member of the CII in the UK, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man, you also join a local institute. The network of local institutes offers a useful contact point, education advice, CPD seminars and social events
