CALLING ALL MEMBERS OF PLYMOUTH & CORNWALL INSURANCE INSTITUTE!

Are you enrolled onto an ACII unit but need some help with revision and study?

If you are enrolled or plan to enrol onto an ACII unit, please check this upcoming programme of study support as it might be just the help you need towards achieving your ACII.

Introduction

NEW! Your local institute are now funding a limited number of places on an ACII study programme with Intuition Training. This means it is free to you - on a first come, first served basis. Adrian Toomey, of Intuition Training, is providing a programme of tuition for two ACII subjects. All of the training will be online.

Format of the training

Training consists of four 2-hour sessions every two weeks. These will be interactive sessions, which will involve discussions on key topics as well as guidance on writing ACII assignments in terms of structure, content and marker expectations.

Each session is recorded so learners can re-listen as part of their studies. Audio versions will also be available, so you can listen while driving or walking. In addition to the training time and the recorded sessions, all learners will be provided with a broad set of training and revision materials for each unit.

Groups are made up of individuals from local institutes all over the UK, but won’t be larger than 25 learners to enable interactive and engaging sessions.

Who is eligible to apply?

Research has told us that employers tend to pay for enrolment onto Advanced Diploma Units/exams etc but do not usually pay for revision help or Advanced Diploma unit training beyond the CII material. This training programme has therefore been set up to fill this gap, and is designed for those employees who do not already have revision or Advanced Diploma training delivered online or face to face via their employers.

Please note that The Insurance Institute of Plymouth & Cornwall is funding tuition ONLY for those members of this local institute who reside/work in this geographical area. If you are not a member of Plymouth & Cornwall Institute, why not check with your Local Institute if they are also participating in this scheme? If you have any questions about eligibility, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Individuals no longer need to complete a subsidy application form but due to the size of the Institute and therefore amount of funds from CII, funding is limited each year and is only available on a first come, first served basis.

As part of the funding support, we’re also looking for learners to take on an ambassadorial role in their workplace for the Insurance Institute of Plymouth & Cornwall – sharing details of CPD initiatives with colleagues, endorsing the benefits of CII membership and qualifications – overall, being a spokesperson, focal point and cheerleader for the Insurance Institute of Plymouth & Cornwall where they work.

For any individuals or businesses who already have existing online or other revision tools but would like to discuss organising training sessions like this for their firms, you can contact us by email to discuss at plymouthinstitute@cii.co.uk .

The full programme is shown below, and Adrian can provide all the scheduled dates for the sessions. As there are only limited places, you will need to be sure you can attend all sessions for your chosen unit.
