We help people enter, understand and progress within Botswana's insurance and financial-services profession, through accredited, practical education.

Our purpose

Helping people build careers in insurance and financial services.

Insurance and financial services keep Botswana's families, businesses and economy protected. Entering and progressing in that profession takes recognised, practical knowledge, and a route to it that working people can actually take.

That is why the Insurance Academy of Botswana exists. Since 2016 we have delivered accredited, industry-focused programmes for working professionals and aspiring practitioners, grounded in local legislation, the regulatory environment and real workplaces.

Study. Learn. Earn.

That progression is the whole idea: study a recognised programme, learn what the profession actually requires, and earn the standing to advance in it.

The journey

From choosing a programme to carrying the qualification.

Every iAB programme runs the same shape, whichever subject you take and whichever way you study.

  1. Choose

    Pick the specialism and the way you want to study.

    Four specialist programmes, each run over 12 weeks, available by distance or in class. The choice is the subject and the mode; the standard is the same either way.

  2. Study

    Twelve weeks built around a working week.

    Material is set in Botswana's regulatory environment and workplace practice, so it is written for people who are already working, or preparing to.

  3. Be assessed

    Assessed and moderated under the accreditation.

    Programmes are designed, delivered, assessed and moderated under iAB's accreditation as an education and training provider, not marked to an internal standard of our own.

  4. Qualify

    A certificate issued by the academy.

    Certificates are issued by Insurance Academy of Botswana, and employers who need to confirm one is genuine can ask us to verify it directly.

Our approach

How we teach, and why it is built this way.

  1. 01

    Specialist, not general

    We teach insurance and financial services only. Every programme, example and assessment is built for that profession rather than adapted from generic business training.

  2. 02

    Built for working people

    Programmes run over 12 weeks and are available by distance or in class, so study fits around employment rather than replacing it.

  3. 03

    Grounded in Botswana

    Teaching is set in Botswana's regulatory environment and workplace practice, so what you learn applies directly where you work.

  4. 04

    Accredited and accountable

    Accredited by BQA, TVET and HRDC. Each recognition is published with its reference number so it can be verified rather than taken on trust.

Accredited & recognised

Accreditation you can check, not claims you have to take on trust.

Insurance Academy of Botswana is accredited by Botswana's quality and skills authorities. Each recognition is published with its reference number.
