Life - Articles - CII launches new Life and Pensions units

 The new qualification develops knowledge and understanding of:

 • The sector's role and its activities;
 • Key customer needs, solutions and products; and
 • How individuals and organisations work within a regulatory and legislative
 environment.

  

 Steve Jenkins, director of financial markets at the CII, said: "This new route is designed to meet the professional development needs of early-career employees working for life and pensions organisations, providing a solid grounding in how the sector meets customer needs within the regulatory and consumer environment

  

 "This new pathway follows the introduction of the new CII level 2 Award in Life and Pensions Foundations in November last year, and aims to help support firms deliver high levels of customer service and offers a consistent and formalised approach to staff development following the introduction of pension freedoms.

  

 "We are delighted that so many companies have been actively involved in the development of this."
