"I found it really beneficial, it was easy to use and great to have the chapter explained in a simplified way, far less daunting than the book and the CII website which can be overwhelming! The posters and quick tests all really helped! You have done a fantastic job and I will be definitely recommending to my colleagues, thank you so much again." – Kellie

"Hi Sam, had my exam this morn and passed! And all I can say is wow and thank you. It was honestly so refreshing to be taught in a different way with someone explaining key terms and concepts to me. The visual were also excellent too as were the little tips you and Grace gave at the end of each chapter." - Jess

"It's without doubt one of the best training tools I've come across for studying. I'm a visual learner and the study material was easy to understand and complimented my research and reading of the learning material, perfectly.
If you're at any stage of your CII exams." - Luke
Meet Sam & Grace
We're Sam & Grace and we're on a mission to make insurance fun. We both hold our ACII and have over 25 years between the two of us in helping insurance professionals through their CII exams.
Over the years, we've found certain study methods consistently yield success - where others fail. And having taken the exams ourselves, we know how dry the material can be, and how challenging it is to focus your attention where it matters most.
With us, you're not going it alone. We're here to guide you every step of the way. Like your own personal cheerleader (minus the pom-poms).
"It was a very informative course which made the material simple and easy to understand. I found the website very useful! I have printed the mind maps which allowed me to easily identify the topic.
I am very grateful for the time and the information you have supplied." – Yulia

FAQ's
It's the weekend and my exam is on Monday. Help?!
We recommend starting this course 6-12 weeks before your exam to give you the best learning experience possible. However, we're also human and know all too well that life happens.
In a pinch, you can cover the course material in under a day.
Test yourself with the practice questions throughout. Drink water. Breathe. You've got this!
Does your course teach everything I need to know for my exam?
Yep! We've left nothing out, although we still encourage you to read the textbook! Every topic in the module is covered in detail, and you'll have the opportunity to practice multiple choice questions at the end of each section.
You can go over the material as often as you like to make sure you remember and understand it.
Can you guarantee I'll pass?
Short answer - no. We can get you as close as humanly possible, and give you everything you need to be successful - but you've got to put the work in.
In the unlikely event that you don't pass even with our help, if you purchase the 'revision course' you've got access to the course for 12 months. Come back, pace yourself, then try again. You can do this.
How long can I access the course?
By enrolling on this course, you get access to all the materials, questions and lectures for 12 months. Alternatively we have a 'crammers course' which gives you access for 1 week.

Previous success stories
Most people come to us via recommendation from their colleagues and friends. While we don't want to toot our own horn too loudly, these endorsements say more than we ever could.
"Anyone studying for their CII qualifications will understand the challenge and pressure when it comes to preparing for the exams. If you are lucky, you may come across some old exam papers, or receive some dubious advice from those who have scraped a pass before. And then, once in a while, someone produces what I refer to as a ‘game changer’ in the world of learning. Sam and her team have produced world-class online revision materials to help students prepare for their CII exams. Within minutes of advertising this service, I was inundated by staff wanting access to these revision materials and by staff who had put off their studies for years. I would liken the quality of the materials to that of having your own ‘personal coach’ and they get my full recommendation for anyone wanting to study for their CII qualifications." - Phillip Westermeyer, Learning and Development Manager, Starr Underwriting Agents Ltd.
"I found this course to be an incredibly useful and encouraging aid for my studies. Sam and Grace are wonderful teachers, who really empower your goals of learning. I will be enrolling for their revision courses for all my exams going forward without hesitation and would strongly recommend to anyone who needs a boost of confidence to get back into studying." - Hannah Mellalieu
"I would like to start by thanking you and the whole team at Empower Development for the On-Demand Courses. It was of great help because I am currently located in India and was preparing for the M85 alone. I have successfully completed the M85 module ( both course work and assignment). The on-demand module helped me study at work or while traveling and was of great help and I truly appreciate that." - Piyali Bannerjee
Frustration-free study
You're probably feeling the pressure right now. The stakes are high, and you're busy - especially if you're already working. More often than not, you're sent on your way with a big book of information to memorise... and not much else.
There's so much to learn! It's overwhelming.
The problem with trying to go it alone is that you don't know when you've done enough.
Are you studying the right topics?
You can read all the materials, take notes in revision sessions, spend hours searching for mock exams online, and still end up bleary-eyed at 2am, re-reading the same sentence 3 times and not retaining a single word.
We've seen it all before!
"Our courses offer a comprehensive programme of guided study, saving you time and energy so you can focus on what matters most."
Samantha Ridgewell, Managing Director, Empower Development

✔ Explains complicated topics in simple terms
✔ Makes concepts memorable by combining visual references with real life examples
✔ Tests your ability to recall what you’ve learned, with multiple choice tests similar to what you’ll encounter in your M85 exam
✔ Makes learning fun
