Program overview
The College Diploma - Business - Insurance (BIN5) (Co-op) is a 2 year program at Fanshawe College’s London campus.
The co-op insurance stream adds eight months of paid industry placement to the designation-aligned curriculum — time spent inside brokerages, claims departments or underwriting teams before graduation. In a relationship-driven industry, the co-op is effectively a two-term job interview.
Fanshawe brings big-college machinery to bear — industry advisory committees, applied-research centres and one of Ontario’s largest co-op operations — inside a city that keeps student budgets workable.
PGWP eligibility for this credential turns on its field — CIP 52.1701 (field of study) — appearing on IRCC’s list at your application date, so verify on Fanshawe’s official page first.
