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. To find out more about the qualification and
register interest please go to www.cii.co.uk/lm-specialisation.
