Insurance Principles
Insurance is based on a number of common law principles that have been followed for hundreds of years. In order to better understand how insurance works it is important to understand these principles and how they underpin insurance as we know it today. There are 7 principles of insurance and during this course we will look at each one, ensuring that we cover the practical application of each of the principles to ensure full understanding. The course is ideally suited to those who are new to insurance and want a better understanding of how the principles of insurance are applied on a day to day basis.
