Growing complexity on all sides of the business calls for new thinking on entry-level benchmarks, says Brooke Hunter, owner of Hunters International Insurance in Toronto. While she acknowledges that a general exam has merit— “You need some way for lots of people to have an entrance into our industry, that’s good public policy”—she suggests that licensing acknowledge the specialized knowledge and skill sets needed for different lines of business. Hunter, always a keen observer of the industry asks a pointed question: “Should the person giving the public advice on personal auto and condo insurance be subject to the same licensing and continuing education requirements as the person advising a private equity fund on D&O insurance, or the CFO of a gold mine on business interruption insurance?”
