CAIB New Edition 1.0

Welcome to a New Way to Learn 

Updated to reflect the evolving insurance industry and redesigned for a modern learning experience, CAIB New Edition 1.0 is launching in Manitoba, on February 17th, 2026.  

This new edition introduces refreshed content, enhanced learning tools, and a more flexible format designed to better support today’s insurance professionals.

Here’s everything you need to know about CAIB New Edition 1.0.

Features of CAIB New Edition 1.0: 

  • Content integrating current industry practices, technology and client standards. 
  • Updated student resources featuring numerous real-world cases to reinforce learning. 
  • Visual diagrams designed to support comprehension and information retention. 
  • Content restructured from chapters into modules, making it more accessible and easier to progress through.  
  • For the first time, CAIB will be offered in an e-book format, enhancing accessibility and convenience
  • An interactive platform that enables students to create study notes, bookmark content, search key terms, access tap-to-reveal flashcards, and work through interactive check-up quizzes.  
  • CAIB content will be reviewed and updated annually, ensuring content remains current, relevant, and aligned with industry changes.

  • Canadian Legal System Explained. 
  • Underwriting Insurance Added. 

CAIB 2 & 3: 

  • Content moved between 2 & 3 for better learning pathway flow.

Important Items of Note: 

  • Exam formats remain unchanged. Students can continue to choose between virtual exams—available anytime—or in-person exam sessions, held five times a year using paper booklets.  
  • Your exam matches your textbook edition. At registration, be sure to select the correct book from the drop-down menu.  
  • No need to retake completed exams. Any CAIB exams you’ve already passed remain valid, and all editions are fully compatible with earning your designation. 
  • Previous edition exams will retire in early 2027. Plan accordingly to complete any remaining assessments before this date. 

 

How to Choose the Right Edition:  

 

CAIB 1 and CAIB 4 New Edition study materials will replace the previous editions. 

CAIB 2 and CAIB 3 must be taken using the same edition. If you have completed CAIB 2 using previous editions, you must continue with the previous edition of CAIB 3 (and vice versa).
