Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I am a Commercial Underwriter within the Existing Business team in RSA's National Trading Centre. On a day-to-day basis I look at Property & Casualty cases coming up for renewal, write up rationales for them, speak to brokers, and issue terms for renewal.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I quite enjoy it, i think it is better than doing it on your own and just reading the textbook
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I think it is definitely helping to expand my knowledge of insurance and how to manage interactions with brokers.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
Structured well with webinars, mocks, and deadlines.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
My employer, most importantly - my leader, is very supportive, I get the time out of my diary to focus on it and the support given in order for me to succeed and develop is great!
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
The support from individual coaches is very good, mine is always there to help and if i have anything specific i need to go over they always do their best to help.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I think it helps me as my coach is also supporting me in reaching certain career goals and targets. It also helps better my understanding and shows me how certain knowledge, skills and behaviours learnt can be applied to my job.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
We have socials every now and again.
