Senior Insurance Professional – Level 6

Standard Overview

Insurance is a diverse marketplace with a history of helping people and businesses assess and manage the risks they face. Over a million people in the UK work in this industry which provides protection from the risks associated with sports cars and challenges to the future needs of our society.

The Senior Insurance Professional apprenticeship encompasses a range of roles including internal facing ‘operational management’ and externally focussed ‘client management’. All roles will require very strong technical competence, with the ability to apply this to a variety of scenarios depending on the size, specialism and business model of the company.

Facilitation of Assessment

DSW has always had a ‘digital by default’ approach to end-point assessment; this allows us to provide greater flexibility for all stakeholders while reducing fees and our carbon footprint.

• Interviews and presentations are conducted using web conferencing platforms and we’re flexible enough to use a platform of the employer’s choosing when required.
• Written exams, MCQs and Case Studies are carried out online using an invigilated assessment platform
• Portfolios and Projects are submitted to DSW in digital format for assessment
• Our assessments are also administered using an online platform, epaPRO, which provides training providers with access to results, reports and dashboards.

This is all supported by named account managers and operations contacts who are here to support you at each step of the EPA journey.
