Technical Insurance Knowledge and Skills

Claims - Introduction

Introduction

This one day interactive workshop takes technical training one step further than the Introduction to Insurance course. It can be used as the next stage in a development programme or it can stand alone as an introduction to claims handling practices for those who already have a basic grasp of insurance principles.

The workshop will provide an excellent opportunity for delegates to develop their understanding of the part claims handling plays in the insurance process. It will also outline the range of options available to claims handlers.

Delegates will be helped in their development, irrespective of the type of claims they go on to handle. This will be a good grounding to which specific policy details can be applied.
