Reinsurance Apprentice Review

My day to day role involves shadowing people on my team. I am based in the marine team, where I produce evidence of covers, cover note addendums for brokers. I also attend weekly meetings.

I have adapted in various skills such as communication, but I also have learnt new skills for example, social/networking skills. I learnt a lot about the online systems used, and the processes of how to do things.

I enjoy it thoroughly although you should remember that this is a job unlike university. You get only 25 days per year for annual leave compared to 25 weeks of holidays at University.

My programe is very structured; at first however, the learning provider was quite difficult to deal with, but now, I have completed my exams on time and am having my tasks on Aptem marked on time. The exams work well with your day to day role as everything you learn is then applied to your work.

I receive a lot of support both at work and outside of work. My manager and team are extremely welcoming, friendly and warm to work with. Everyone is supportive and they love to see you achieve and succeed, everyone helps one another work towards succeeding and achieving goals such as exams, charities, etc.

I receive a lot of support, from quarterly progress reviews to substantial amounts of feedback to every task submitted. I also get very detailed emails when questions are asked, and they do a lot of support with your qualifications, for example, I attend a lot of revision sessions made catered to the module/exam you are taking.

Without my qualification I would not have understood or learnt the things that I did when it comes to insurance and reinsurance as before starting this course I had no idea about a lot of the things which this career path is about. The exams start from basic beginner levels (foundation) and progress into harder exams with content going into more depth, and then finally into the diploma.

You can get inviolved in many fairs, and networking events, such as hosting fairs in sixth form colleges.

Yes

Very welcoming, and collaborative as they love to see you succeed. Everyone helps each other and at the same time the company is extremely hard working, ensuring the very best for clients.

Always be collaborative and never be afraid to share ideas.
