  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • My existing skills have been developed in that I now have a deeper understanding of the insurance industry as a whole. My confidence has also increased, so much so that I have recently been successful in achieving a promotion. I was also given additional development opportunities in order to support the apprenticeship.

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • It was a mixed bag - studying for my CII was interesting and definitely beneficial. I am a 'mature' student though and feel like a lot of the programme is aimed at school/college leavers. It could be adapted to take into consideration when the pupil may have a number of years work experience.

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • I have been allowed time to study during my working hours & been given study leave prior to my exams. I think I have been one of the lucky ones though as I know a lot of people have struggled to get time during working hours; this has put people off doing the apprenticeship.

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • Kaplan have been brilliant - they have made allowances for me being a 'mature' student and having commitments at home. My tutor is always available if I have any questions or require assistance.

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • The CII aspect is hugely beneficial; it has given me a much deeper understanding of the insurance industry as a whole and gives me a really important qualification in the industry I am pursuing a career in. I don't feel the apprenticeship side has brought any improvements though - it is much more likely to benefit a school/college leaver.
