AAI (Accredited Adviser in Insurance) is a professional designation for insurance agency staff offered by The Institutes. It consists of 3 core courses: AAI 301 (Becoming a Successful Insurance Agent), AAI 302 (Growing a Book of Business), and AAI 303 (Understanding Coverage Solutions), plus an ethics course. The designation demonstrates expertise in agency operations, sales management, and coverage solutions.

To earn the AAI designation, you must complete 3 core courses (AAI 301, 302, 303) and pass the Ethical Decision Making in Risk and Insurance course. The ethics course is available free online through The Institutes website. You can take the courses in any order and have no time limit to complete the designation.

Each AAI course has an exam with 85 multiple-choice questions. You have 2 hours to complete the exam and need 70% (about 60 correct answers) to pass. The exams are administered by The Institutes via virtual testing and can be taken remotely from home or office.

Plan for 60-80 hours of study per AAI course, typically spread over 4-6 weeks (about 10-15 hours per week). The courses cover agency operations, sales management, and coverage solutions. The ethics course requires an additional 5-10 hours. Use practice questions, study guides, and course materials from The Institutes.

There are no education or experience requirements for the AAI designation. Anyone can enroll in the courses regardless of background. This makes AAI accessible to entry-level insurance professionals, career changers, and experienced agents seeking formal credentialing.

Each AAI course costs approximately $300-400, depending on whether you purchase the course with or without study materials. The ethics course is free. Total cost for the full designation is approximately $1,200-1,600. There are no annual maintenance fees or continuing education requirements to maintain the designation.
