Overview
This Attestation d'etudes collegiales (AEC) trains damage insurance advisors (assurance de dommages) at Cegep de Drummondville. Students learn to analyze client needs and recommend property and casualty insurance coverage for individuals and businesses, handle claims settlement, and act as underwriters who explain coverage terms and pricing to industry professionals and clients. The 870-hour program runs over 17 months and is delivered 100% online, in the evenings with classes on alternating Saturdays, allowing students to combine study with work or other commitments. Coursework covers auto and home insurance products, claims processing procedures, and underwriting principles used by property and casualty insurers.
