Course description
Senior Insurance Professional Apprenticeship
Insurance is an incredibly diverse marketplace with a rich history of helping people and businesses assess and manage the risks they face. Over a million people in the UK work in this exciting industry which provides protection from the risks associated with sports cars and hurricanes to the future needs of our society.
This Level 6 apprenticeship standard covers a wide range of roles including internal facing ‘operational management’ and externally focused ‘client management’. All roles will require very strong technical competence, with the ability to apply this to a variety of scenarios depending on the size, specialism and business model of the company.
