Program details

Overview

This certificate trains professionals working in the insurance and financial-services sectors to build competency in financial planning, delivered entirely online rather than on campus. Over 30 credits offered part-time only, coursework covers client communication, financial-needs analysis and investment recommendations through required courses spanning retirement and estate planning, taxation and financial-services regulation, plus one elective. The same programme is also offered in person at the Trois-Rivieres and Drummondville campuses under separate programme codes. Admission follows a Quebec college diploma (DEC) in insurance and financial services plus at least one year of relevant work experience, at least five completed university courses plus proof of college-level mathematics, or at least two years of relevant work experience plus proof of college-level mathematics, with a remedial mathematics course available where needed. Admission is offered in the fall, winter and summer terms. The programme is not open to international applicants and suits students who need a fully remote format while working in insurance or financial services.
