Associate in General Insurance (AINS)

Additional Info For The AINS Designation

How To Obtain The AINS Designation

To earn this designation, you must complete specific courses. For details and a listing of the required courses, go to https://web.theinstitutes.org, which is where you order the designation courses and from whom you earn your designation.

Please note that the course listings you see here on TrainingCenter are study guides and exam prep materials, not the official designation courses.

In other words, similar to earning a college degree, you receive the degree from your college, but can use Cliff Notes or other exam prep materials to help you pass the courses to earn your degree.

While the exam prep materials shown on TrainingCenter are not required, the average pass rate with these materials is 97.3%, so they definitely are instrumental in helping to pass your certification exams on your first attempt, thereby saving you time, money, and aggravation.
