Within my qualification I learn a lot about the insurance market and the role of brokers and underwriters which is very relevant to my role as a broker and it has helped me gain a further insight into the rules and responsibilities following this role.

I am part of a Next gen community where they arrange events such as meeting other apprentices in the industry from other companies.
