To become an insurance broker or adjuster in Alberta, you must first pass the General Insurance Level 1 exam put on by the Alberta Insurance Council. There are separate exams for brokers and adjusters but this study guide helps prepare you for either one.
The Alberta Level 1 exam tests mostly technical topics so out of the 100 questions on the exam, 60 questions are on Technical Skills & Risk Management, and just 20 questions each for Ethics & Professionalism and Industry Knowledge.
