FNS42120 is the nationally recognised Certificate IV in Personal Injury Management. It prepares you for work as an insurance agent. It has been the current version on the national register since 2021, when it replaced FNS42115. Employers posted about 577 insurance agent jobs in June 2026, down 14.1% on a year earlier.
The signals behind the Certificate IV in Personal Injury Management are mixed, and both sides are worth weighing. Enrolments are rising. Job ads in June 2026 were down 14.1% on a year earlier and the official shortage list does not rate its occupations in shortage. These are official statistics, not a promise about your result.
Employers are posting fewer insurance agent jobs than a year ago. About 577 insurance agent jobs were advertised online in June 2026, down 14.1% on a year earlier. Over the last 12 months there were about 7,600 job ads, while 260 people were training in the qualification nationally (2025). Ads show the market. Enrolments show the pipeline. Neither is a job promise.
