The Chartered Insurance Institute’s (CII) new Certificate in London Market Insurance Specialisation has reached full capacity just one month after launch, revealing a strong demand for dedicated qualifications tailored to the London insurance market.
The new qualification, developed in partnership with the Lloyd’s Market Association, requires entrants to complete a dissertation involving in-depth study of a topic directly relevant to the London market. This provides a unique opportunity to create a learning programme that meets their specific learning and development requirements. Upon completion holders receive a Certificate in London Market Insurance Specialisation and 50 CII credits that can also be used towards completion of other CII qualifications.
Niall Boyd, CII head of product marketing and membership, commented: “This is great news for those currently working in the London insurance market as it illustrates not only the desire to gain a greater level of knowledge and expertise, but also a higher degree of professionalism, which in turn will lead to a competitive advantage in this area.
“We are continuously innovating and enhancing our learning and qualification provision at the CII to support the specific development requirements of our members – as shown by this London market Certificate – and it is encouraging to see this new qualification being so well received.”
There is a significant amount of work involved in reviewing the range of specialist dissertation proposals and marking final work, and in many cases an expert in a particular subject area needs to be sourced. Therefore enrolments are limited to 20 candidates per year to ensure flexibility and choice in subject matter. However, the CII will be seeking to make additional capacity available, but in the interim interested parties can register their interest online, with subsequent entry to be provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
