It’s essential that you have some insurance claims experience either with an insurer or broker and understand the end-to-end claims process as well as understanding the basics of insurance coverage for policies.

Experience of Acturis and Cert CII qualification (or working towards) is desirable but not essential as training can be given and opportunity to study offered.
