Insurance Administrator Apprentice Review

My role was split across two placements. One was in the Delegated Authorities team at Lloyd's for 5 months, whilst the other was at an Insurance company called Allied World where I acted as an Underwriting Assistant in the Healthcare team. No two days were the same and I was also able to gain work experience in other teams such as claims, exposure management and underwriting management.

Yes. Lloyd's is a fantastic employer who provide training for growth and development. This included training on; presenting, time management, communication and project management. I also gained my Cert CII qualification.

10/10

The programme is well structured, however due to Covid-19 there were some issues along the way. On our first day we were given a time table of important dates and deadlines to complete our exams, which was very beneficial.

Lloyd's provide lots of support. The company emphasises well being,and put on yoga classes and well being workshops whilst working from home during the pandemic. We are also allocated a buddy who has also completed the apprenticeship scheme, who can advise us throughout the scheme.

Excellent support from FWD - I felt as though I could have contacted my coach at anytime for support, whether that be for exams, the apprenticeship qualification, or generic work queries.

Very much so

Yes - however due to Covid-19 I was unable to get too involved in these. The Christmas party was good as well as apprentice and grad drinks which my manager hosted.

Yes

Great support from managers, emphasise on growth and development, rotational aspect to the placements, mentored exam programme and overall a really enjoyable experience. Friendly staff and amazing building to work in too!
