Section 6 Approval of educational institutions and qualifications.

The Council may approve for the purposes of this Act any institution (hereinafter referred to as “an approved educational institution”) where the instruction given to persons being educated as insurance brokers appears to the Council to be such as to secure to them adequate knowledge and skill for the practice of their profession.
