Insurance Planner Qualification Exam Resumes... Likely to Be Held at Outdoor Sports Ground

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Hyung-gil] The insurance industry is resuming the qualification exams for insurance planners and recruiters, which had been suspended due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

According to the Life and Non-life Insurance Associations on the 20th, the insurance planner exams, which had been suspended since the end of February, will be held over two days on the 25th and 26th.

The exams are expected to be conducted in outdoor sports fields, maintaining a certain distance between examinees. Additionally, each exam venue will be fully equipped with quarantine supplies such as hand sanitizers.

Earlier, on the 9th, a post titled "Please consider various exam methods so that we can take the planner exam" was uploaded on the national petition board.

The petitioner said, "I am in a situation where I have to earn living expenses, but my future looks bleak," adding, "These days, it is difficult to find other jobs or part-time work, so it is very hard for me who needs to earn a living."

In response, the association has been continuously discussing with financial authorities about resuming the exams, considering the difficulties job seekers face in employment activities and livelihood due to the suspension of exams.

An association official said, "We will first conduct a pilot exam this week and decide next month whether to resume the exams based on the results."
