Success could be just around the corner

The Broker Academy’s regional training programme delivers a mix of technical and business courses at accessible venues across the UK.

Conceived and developed following extensive consultation with brokers, the face-to-face format ensures a stimulating and rewarding learning environment to sharpen broking skills and enhance career potential.

This initiative brings training to the regions at affordable prices, cementing the Broker Academy philosophy of supporting the entire UK broking community. Courses are delivered by our appointed training provider Searchlight Insurance Training.

New – subsidised management training programme

The Broker Academy is offering a Management Development programme designed specifically for insurance brokers – and you can get up to £1,000 of Government funding to help meet the fee.

This exclusive course can attract a substantial subsidy from the Government’s flagship Train to Gain initiative, which means you or a member of your staff can attend at a fraction of the usual cost.

This exciting addition to CII Broker Academy’s regional face-to-face training portfolio is delivered by leading market practitioners who share first-hand experience of the issues facing brokers today.

Developing tomorrow’s leaders

The programme specifically caters for mid-senior managers, directors and owners who have, or aspire to, strategic management responsibility within their firm. Coverage of core responsibilities needed by senior broking staff will help you develop the key competencies required to succeed in today’s competitive environment:
