The C11 exam is the official IIC exam behind IIC Principles and Practice of Insurance — passing it earns you the Chartered Insurance Professional (CIP) certification, a credential positioned at the Foundation / Introductory level. It is built for candidates who want to validate the skills measured by IIC Principles and Practice of Insurance. Depending on your track, the exam is also linked to the CIP (Chartered Insurance Professional) and Associate in Insurance (A.I.) certifications, so one pass can move you toward more than one IIC credential.

The C11 exam presents 50-60 questions questions to be completed within 120 minutes. That pace leaves little room for second-guessing: read each question carefully on the first pass, flag the ones you want to revisit, and keep moving instead of stalling on a single item. Before exam day, run at least one full timed session in the PassCollection desktop or online test engine with a comparable question load — a steady rhythm under the clock is a trainable skill, and it is often what separates a pass from a near miss.

To pass the C11 exam you need 65% (typical), and the official registration fee is CAD $475 (approximate). Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying that fee again in full — retakes are not discounted. Given the cost, self-test before you book: if you can score comfortably above the passing mark on two or three consecutive timed PassCollection practice tests, your budget is far better spent on the exam itself than on a retake.

Recommended: Complete C12 (Essential Skills for Insurance Professionals) as a prerequisite or co-requisite Because IIC revises its certification programs from time to time, treat this as a starting point rather than the final word. Confirm the current eligibility requirements on the official IIC exam page before you register.
