Ageas underwriting achieves chartered status

clock

Ageas' underwriting division has been awarded chartered status by the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII).

The insurer gained the status after meeting a number of criteria as set out by the CII, including an examination of its development programmes and training and competence scheme.

The Ageas Underwriting Academy, launched three years ago, aims to help the insurer's underwriters achieve technical ability.

It offers a comprehensive mixture of training programmes, bespoke e-learning and accelerated learning schemes.

Mark Cliff, managing director at Ageas Insurance, said: "I am very proud of the team receiving CII Chartered status. This is a further demonstration of our commitment to high standards and our approach to professional development for our employees.

"This means our brokers and their customers can be confident that they have chosen a company that invests in its people to provide a high product and service offering."

Dr Alexander Scott, chief executive of the CII, said Ageas had shown an "ongoing commitment" to developing professionalism in the insurance sector.
