Insurance Practitioner Apprentice Assistant Underwriter Review

Underwriting risks - communicating with brokers - working with team members

Yes - developed team skills, communication

Not much - lots of the programme feels like it is unnecessary e.g. writing up hours of learning when it could easily be tested in other ways such as exams, conversations etc.

Not well - was very confusing at the start as it was not clear what the structure was, haven't been able to stick to the timeline that was set out due to the poor explanation of the programme.

Employer is very supportive - immediate team has been very helpful in my progression however the apprenticeship team fails to support the wider apprenticeship community - feels as though the London apprentices are catered to and supported more than the rest.

They have good guides on their page and the mentors are helpful when it comes to guiding - however they are not very quick with responses and often slow progression

Have more knowledge on insurance as a whole because of it - does not really help much in my role as the learning we do is quite general and doesn't apply to specific insurance products.

Volunteering, social activities e.g. lunches/dinners, quizzes, networking events

Yes

Great place to work, very flexible and incredible environment.

Learn about the structure of the company, a little on the history, our values are very important so be ready to provide examples of how you have demonstrated them in previous roles.
