CSA Review

General client service, including but not exclusive to Invoicing, database creation, certificate production, answering day-to-day client queries and insurer relations.

Abillity to manage my time and prioritise tasks that I have coming in. This has been of increasing importance since attaining my own client allocation, wehere I have had to manage to expectations of both my manager and the client. Additionally working at Aon and within this industry has taught me the importance of your reputation, and the standard of work you put your name to

I enjoyed the programme, the profesional qualifications support provided by FWD was very good and thorough, to the extend that myself and many other colleaugues within the same cohort all passed with distinction. We are provided one to two 1hour individual slots a month with your trainer and these prove to be ctritical when finalising coursework etc

The programme is structured well, however is very spaced out. However this being said aon do allow the flexibillity to move your exam dates forward to reflect the progress you are making. Furtehrmore there is one preparation class for each of the IF exams, in addition to the FWD coaching sessions.

As aforementioned the Aon support is incredible, you are allowed 1 study day per exam which is more that enough for these exams (and the allocation increases through Dip,ACII etc) .Whilst organising several training sessions throughout the course also. Throug personal experience, I was shockled with the additional support that my team provided, answering any questions that I had through any exam, and taking time out of their schedules to sit and explain more complex elements of the course.

FWD support was very consistant throughout the 18 months, and additionally was tailored well to the support that the indivisual required. When my EPA week came I was behind woing to work commitmenst, and Ian my coach worked round the clock - enabling me to complete the course within my deadline

I think compoleting the apprenticeship qualification, essentially acts as a recap to your working day - enabling you to reflect not only on what tasks you complete by why we complete them. The qualification forces you to expand your horizons beyond what we are doing in insurance to the wider economy and how what we are doing has an impact.

Insurance by its very nature involves relationships between the three involved parties. As a result I have been fortunate enough to attend several insurer events; from golf days, to a night at the darts. This is in addition to Aon Team events such as Newmarket races, and a day on the London Lochs

Good employer, pay is at a market standard, and the opportunities to progress and learn are second to none. In addition Aon are a very understanding employer - allowing you to adapt to change in personal circumstance etc, eleveating other pressures that you have allongside your working life. Furthermore Aon is a large blue chip company encompassing Insurance, retirement solutions and HR and therefore there are plenty of opportunities to explore jobs within the company.

Be yourself, Aon is a company that accepts colleagues from any walk of life - which arguably is a crucial element to its success. Furthermore I would reccomend reading up on Aons history and how it came to be the largest broker in the world. Lastly, be prepared for the interview, consider times where you have had to think under pressure, adapt to a changing cirucmstance etc
