Business Support Specialist Review

Assisting lead brokers in the placement of insurance. This involves creating insurance contracts based on the clients demands and needs and communicating with underwriters to request insurance quotes.

I have developed upon my organisation skills in order to ensure my work is completed in an acceptable time frame and also learnt how to use multiple new systems as well as learning about insurance.

I enjoy my programme as I have a great team to work with an enjoy the work I get to complete. I find the apprenticeship things such as the CPD log and portfolio difficult to manage alongside my day to day work but it is managable.

We have 5 sessions for each module to discuss the main key points however, as the modules have lots of context in them, these do not cover as much of the content as we need. these sessions are also 2 hours long so are a commitment.

WTW provides support in giving me 20% study time along with sessions with an external provider on each module. However, we only have a few sessions per module so most of the work is independent.

The growth company have catch ups with me every 4 weeks or so and provide sessions on each module. However, we only have a few sessions per module so most of the work is independent.

very well, the content you learn in the qualification is mostly relevant to my job role so has helped me develop.

we have many professional networking events at willis which is great to get involved in.

Yes

Because the team i work with is great and I get lots of support throughout my job role and my apprenticeship work.

Make sure to introduce yourself to everyone and ensure you have good organisational/timekeeping skills.
