How to order physical copy of training materials from the CII
This articles guides you on how to order a physical copy of the CII book
Apprenticeships that lead to a professional qualification include a digital study book per unit as standard. However, if a physical (printed) textbook is required, this can be purchased by the employer at a reduced rate for Skills Edge Training learners.
Please note: the cost of a physical study book must be paid by the employer. Apprentices are not permitted to contribute financially to apprenticeship costs.
Options for Ordering a Physical Copy
Your options for ordering the book will depend on whether or not or employer has a Corporate CII account, and whether or not they would like to set one up:
1. Employer Has a Corporate CII Account
A corporate account is an account held with the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) in the name of the business, not an individual.
If the employer has a corporate CII account:
- Once digital materials have been ordered, the learner and line manager will receive an order email from Skills Edge Training.
- The employer must forward this email to corporateorders@cii.co.uk.
- This ensures the learner is identified as a Skills Edge student and prevents the employer from being charged the non-discounted rate.
- The business will then be invoiced directly by CII.
2. Employer Is Unsure or Does Not Yet Have a Corporate CII Account
If the employer is unsure whether they have a corporate account, or would like to set one up:
- Contact b2bsupport@cii.co.uk to confirm or create a corporate account.
Once confirmed or created, follow the same steps as above:
- Forward the Skills Edge Training order email to corporateorders@cii.co.uk for discounted pricing and invoicing.
3. Employer Does Not Want a Corporate Account
If the employer does not want to create a corporate CII account:
-
Contact support@skillsedge.co.uk.
Skills Edge Training will arrange for CII to contact the employer directly to take payment by card over the phone. The employer will be asked to provide:
-
A contact telephone number for the cardholder
-
A preferred time for the call (morning or afternoon)
