2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

The programme is well organised by Kaplan as they have set out a full plan for the 18 month apprenticeship which outlines what we need to have done by certain dates. E.g. our IF1 exam

7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

I think I would be able to do my role without the qualification we are studying for. However, I do think that the qualification will make me understand the role better and make me more knowledgeable about the insurance industry as a whole.
