How you’d get this certificate
- Zavmo teaches you. You learn the units one-to-one with an AI tutor, on your own work.
- You register with an approved centre. That is a college, training provider or employer Chartered Insurance Institute has approved to offer this qualification. Zavmo is not an approved centre, so you register with them, not with us.
- The centre assesses, and Chartered Insurance Institute awards. A qualified assessor at the centre judges your evidence, and the certificate comes from Chartered Insurance Institute.

These are the units Chartered Insurance Institute registers against this qualification. It is a catalogue, not a syllabus. Which of them you take depends on the combination the qualification requires, and that is set by the awarding body rather than by us. Every unit here is regulated. Zavmo teaches towards them on your own work.
Zavmo is not an awarding body, is not an approved centre, and is not affiliated with Chartered Insurance Institute. It does the teaching and the mapping. Chartered Insurance Institute sets this qualification and awards it, and a qualified human assessor makes the assessment decision.
