Level 4 Insurance

The Level 4 Insurance Apprenticeship is designed for individuals who are already working in the insurance sector and are ready to develop their technical knowledge, professional skills and understanding of the wider insurance market.
It is particularly suited to learners who have already developed a good foundation of insurance knowledge and experience and are looking to progress into a more technical or specialist role. This may include learners progressing from a Level 3 insurance qualification or apprenticeship, as well as existing insurance employees who have sufficient knowledge and experience to undertake study at Level 4.

This programme is made up of a mixture of mandatory units and optional units.

Mandatory units include the following:

• Managing Own Performance and Development within the Insurance Industry
• Developing Effective Working Relationships with Stakeholders
• Environmental Awareness in the Insurance Industry

When you agree to undertake an Apprenticeship, you may be required to complete Essential Skills qualifications, depending on your previous qualifications, the Apprenticeship level you are completing and your own particular needs.

The Diploma in Insurance (Dip CII) provides a total of 120 credits upon completion. On the assumption you already hold your Certificate in Insurance (Cert CII) and respective 40 credits, you will need to complete three CII units along with the above Level 4 Certificate in Insurance Practice. The three units are mixed assessments consisting of a written assignment and an exam for each unit. Each unit should be completed within 6 months of commencement. 12 off the job workshops will be delivered, via Teams, to support learning, alongside self-study and interactive online resources.

Learners are supported and encouraged throughout their qualification to reach their full potential in their chosen industry.
