First of all, when you enrol into your first diploma course you are automatically eligible our High Achievers Diploma programme benefits. Here is how the pricing works:

1. The regular price for each course in the programme is AED 4,570 per course for Blended learning and AED3,780 per course for self-paced, VAT inclusive. This price does not include the CII registration for the mixed assessment and textbook.
2. You will pay the regular price for each course when you enrol into it. If there is a promo when you enrol into a course, you will get the benefit of that promo for that course only.
3. When you enrol into your last (fourth) course, you will get a discount of 75% of the enrolment fee for that course.
4. Furthermore, if you have earned your Certificate in Insurance (Cert. CII) through our blended learning bundle programme (three courses), you will be entitled to a voucher of AED1,000 that can be used against the enrolment fee into your first diploma course.
5. We guarantee to hold the price for the four courses at the regular price of your first enrolment (excluding promos or discount vouchers). This price will hold for three years
6. You may pay each enrolment fee in three monthly instalments. Terms and Conditions (and charges) apply.

The next blended learning course will be M97 - Reinsurance and will start on Thursday 18th April 2024. Classes will be held every Thursday from 17.30 to 20.00 GST (UAE Time) (includes 30 minutes break). Enrol now to secure your place in the group.

If you choose self-paced learning, you may start with any course (subject to availability) and you will be immediately enrolled in the course as soon as you have completed the enrolment process and payment. You will gain six months access to our learning resources and activities and can complete the course at your own pace.

How long is the tuition?

RISC provides the 50 to 60 hours of live virtual classes (for blended learning) split into sessions of three hours each session, every Saturday but skipping every fourth saturday.

How long is the access to e-learning?

Six months from enrolment for each course.

Where can I take the online MCQ exam?

You may take the exam by remote invigilation or at the physical exam sitting that we organize on a regular basis at the end of a group. Contact our customer service to find out about other locations in other countries.

What is a bootcamp?

The bootcamp is scheduled after the tuition is completed and a week of study and revision. It is designed to test knowledge that you already have so you must prepare for it. The session is approximately four to five hours depending on the number of questions in the actual exam. During the session, the trainer will present multiple choice questions onscreen, and you will use the audience response system to give your answer. After each question, the trainer will explain the reasons for the correct choice. The questions are in the same format and distribution across learning objectives as the CII exam specifications. Your score is logged and entered in your gradebook or sent to your sponsor on the next working day. We strongly recommend that the actual exam is taken about a week or two after the bootcamp and you have had the time to prepare your final revision.

Is this course offered in Arabic?

Not yet.

How do I pay for enrollment?

First, click the Enrol Now button on the page for the relative course and you will be able to select some options and see the exact cost for enrollment depending on the options that you choose.

You can then make the payment by credit card using our secure payment gateway which is our preferred method and the only way you can pay where installments are available. Alternatively, you may make payment by bank transfer, wire transfer, cheque or cash (UAE only) by send a proforma invoice to your email address. (A proforma invoice is a preliminary invoice which you can use to make payment by bank transfer, wire transfer or cash. It includes detail of the course, a breakdown of costs, the total amount payable and instructions where to send payment. This document does not commit either us or you to the enrolment until we have received payment.) If you wish to make bank or wire transfer, our bank details will be on the pro-forma invoice. Pls inform us with the transaction reference when you have done so.

If you wish to make payment in cash, you may deposit the cash at any RakBank ATM (within UAE) using the account details on the pro-forma invoice. You may then send us a picture of the receipt.

Please note that no installments are available for payments without credit card and your enrollment will not start until the payment has been credited to our bank account.

What discounts do you offer?

Our prices are pitched to make our courses accessible to as wide an audience as possible whilst maintaining sustainability of our operations. Therefore, the price shown is final. However, we do offer the following structured discounts:

1. Refer a friend: you can refer this course to friends or colleagues by using the “Referral Rewards” block on the top right of this page. If any of your friends enroll, we will provide you with AED50 cashback up to a maximum of AED500.
2. We have the special pricing for if you take up the four courses that make up the qualification.
3. A group discount of 5% is available if three to five participants are enrolled by a company or organization. The discount increases to 10% if the number of enrollees is greater than five. We require a stamped and dated purchase order from your company and the fees will be invoiced to the company and payment must be made in full before the course starts.
4. If the number of enrollees from the same company is more than 10, then we recommend contacting our customer service or one of our training advisors to get a quote.
5. We offer a special discount of 25% of our course fees for those enrollees who live and work in a low GDP country, similar to the CII. You can check if the country that you live and work in is on that list here.
6. And remember, if you pay the full fees upfront, you will save 8% installment charge.

And there we thought that our prices were final! But we are here to help you succeed so we are also willing to make a little sacrifice.

Can I pay by installments?

Yes, we offer installment payment for the course fee but not the exams and VAT. The number of installments is three for each course, payable monthly.

Installments are available subject to a payment agreement which is registered on your credit card when you enroll. Please make sure that your card has the necessary balance on the due dates. We reserve the right to charge an administration fee for payments that are not honored as well as suspension of access to our classes and e-learning course.

This is an extra service which we provide which carries both risk and increased administration costs. Therefore, we trust that you will not find our installment charge of 8% on the balance after the first payment unreasonable.

We offer these installments based on your honour and integrity which is the first rule of conduct for insurance professionals and we take this very seriously.

Are there any extra charges?

No, we are very transparent in our charging and pricing. You can click the Enrol Now Button on this page and select your options to have a detailed price breakdown. (Enrolment only becomes effective when you have paid.) The only extra charge which you may have to pay is for a re-sit of the exam, if unfortunately, that would be the case.

Oh! We should mention that we may make an administration charge if any of your installments are not honoured on the due date. We think that is only fair.
