Overview

Insurance brokers play a critical role in helping individuals, businesses, and organisations identify, assess, manage, and transfer risk. As trusted advisers, brokers are expected to understand client needs, evaluate risk exposures, source appropriate insurance solutions, negotiate with insurers, provide professional advice, facilitate policy placement, and support clients throughout the insurance lifecycle, including claims management and ongoing service delivery.

This programme provides a practical and structured examination of the insurance broking process. Participants will learn how to establish professional client relationships, conduct client needs analysis, assess risk exposures, undertake market research, evaluate insurance solutions, negotiate insurance arrangements, place cover, manage documentation requirements, and provide ongoing advisory and claims support services.

The programme also explores the ethical, legal, regulatory, and professional responsibilities of insurance brokers while emphasising the importance of client-focused advice, risk management principles, and professional conduct.

Whether serving retail, commercial, corporate, or specialist clients, the knowledge and skills developed through this programme will help participants deliver professional broking services that create value for clients while supporting sustainable insurance outcomes.
