ExploreAbout this exam
The Non-Life Insurance Agent's Course is one of the Insurance Certifications listed by the Institute of Financial Markets of Pakistan (IFMP), appearing alongside the Life Insurance Agent's Course, Authorized Surveying Officers, Bancassurance Certification, BancataKafol Certification, Family Takaful Agents Certification and General Takaful Certification. IFMP describes itself as Pakistan's first securities market institute, established as a permanent platform to develop quality human capital for financial markets and to create standards among market professionals, and it states that it conducts licensing examinations leading to certifications for different segments of financial markets. This course sits in the general (non-life) insurance segment, so it is aimed at people who sell or advise on non-life covers rather than life or family takaful products. IFMP's public pages do not publish this course's syllabus, question count, duration, pass mark, fee or validity period, so candidates should confirm those details directly with IFMP before booking. Preparation should follow IFMP's own channels: the Examination Regulations page, the Examination Schedule, the Fees Structure, the IFMP Study Guide and the IFMP Mock Paper linked from the site, plus the Safe Exam Browser download used for online delivery. Registration is handled through the IFMP online registration portal, and results are evidenced through the Insurance Agent's e-Certificate verification page. This page is independent study material and is not affiliated with or endorsed by IFMP.
What you'll study
About IFMP Non-Life Insurance Agents Certification (NLIAC), Pakistan preparation
Who runs the Non-Life Insurance Agent's Course and where do I register?
It is listed by the Institute of Financial Markets of Pakistan (IFMP) under its Insurance Certifications. Registration is through the IFMP online registration portal linked from the IFMP home page. IFMP's site also publishes a registration process page, a grandfathering policy, a fees structure and certification forms, so check those before submitting an application.
What is the exam format - multiple choice, written, or computer-based?
IFMP's public pages do not state the format, number of questions or time allowed for this course. The site does list Safe Exam Browser under downloads, which indicates that at least some IFMP examinations are delivered online with a locked-down browser. Confirm the exact format on the Examination Regulations and Examination Schedule pages before you book.
How much does the exam cost and how long is the certificate valid?
The fee and any validity period are not published on the IFMP pages reviewed here. IFMP maintains a separate Fees Structure page under Registration, which is the authoritative place to check current charges. For validity and renewal, contact IFMP directly using the contact details on its site rather than relying on second-hand information.
Can I retake the exam if I fail, and how soon?
The source material does not describe a retake policy for this course. IFMP publishes Examination Regulations that should set out re-sitting rules, waiting periods and any additional charges. Read that page before your first attempt so you understand the consequences of a fail, and confirm anything unclear with IFMP.
How difficult is it, and what should I study first?
IFMP does not publish a pass rate or difficulty rating, so treat claims about difficulty with caution. Start with the Examination Regulations to learn the rules, then work through the IFMP Study Guide and attempt the IFMP Mock Paper to identify weak areas. Build a study order around the non-life syllabus once you have confirmed it with IFMP.
What study materials does IFMP actually provide?
The IFMP site links an IFMP Study Guide and an IFMP Mock Paper, and publishes journals and newsletters. It also hosts SECP circulars, which matter because insurance in Pakistan is regulated by the SECP. Use the study guide as your primary outline, the mock paper for timed practice, and the circulars for regulatory context.
How do I prove I hold the certification to an employer or regulator?
IFMP operates a verification section that includes an Insurance Agent's e-Certificate lookup, alongside members verification. Employers and regulators can use that page to confirm your certification record. Keep your registration details accurate, because verification depends on the record IFMP holds for you.
When are exams held and when will I get my result?
IFMP publishes a separate Examination Schedule page, which is the place to check upcoming sittings and dates. Result timelines are not stated in the material reviewed here. Plan around the published schedule and ask IFMP about result release and certificate issuance when you register.
What are the most common ways candidates lose marks?
Without a published syllabus or past-paper analysis, the safest advice is procedural: candidates often skip the Examination Regulations, misjudge the online delivery requirements such as Safe Exam Browser, and rely on outdated fee or schedule information instead of the current IFMP pages. Confirm every administrative detail from IFMP before exam day.
