Course Overview
The Diploma of General Insurance is designed for insurance professionals with four or more years of experience working in small or large insurance businesses with retail and/or commercial clients.
This qualification is made up of Skills Units which are mapped to the Australian Qualifications Framework and are appropriately contextualised for both the Australian and New Zealand markets, and are internationally portable.
Each unit aims to develop specific technical, analytical and interpersonal knowledge and skills required to:
- Effectively lead a claims or underwriting team
- Manage and settle insurance claims
- Manage the process of analysing and assessing the risks associated with a prospective customer’s insurance policy application
- Prepare and maintain relevant documentation
- Provide quality insurance services to customers.
Insurance professionals can focus on specific areas they wish to develop by taking units as standalone short courses — or, if desired, units can be combined to attain the full Diploma in General Insurance.
