Testimonials

Hear what our students have to say about their experience at MII.

“As an agent in this Insurance Industry for many years, I always wanted to further my career and become more professional in my career paths. So, I begin to search and survey for a professional program. Finally, I have found it, and it was CMII and AMII courses from MII. I found that the lecturer and many students that attended the classes are professionals in this industry.

All these have benefited me when I have challenges in my work. I am glad that I have chosen the right courses and now I am furthering my studies in AMII level 1.

CMII is a basic class and AMII is more professional and advance and I will complete this course even though it is very challenging.”

“When I was thinking about how to move forward in this insurance industry, MII offered the CMII course to their staff. I took this opportunity and enrolled myself for this course. This course changed my entire perception of insurance. I had always thought of insurance as a boring subject. CMII taught me the basics of insurance and for someone who had minimal knowledge in insurance, it was a great start. So, do not limit yourself. Nothing is impossible as the word itself says I am possible. Thank you.”
