Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) Reviews

I was the only broker on the course. The other delegates were insurers. I feel the course content was more tailored for an insurer, rather than a broker, and the name of the course "Excel for Brokers" was somewhat misleading. Although the trainer was extremely good, very patient and clear, and I would still recommend this course to a colleague.

Very good. did not get bored as Neil was as 'monotone' as some trainers are where you just want to fall asleep. Looked into which companies delegates worked at so he could make course a bit more specific to us rather than talking about something we would never deal with. Certainly made me more confident in talking to clients about D&O

This course was the most pertinent course that I have been on to date. I have already recommended it to everyone I know from work colleagues to others. Duncan was brilliant and explained everything in simple terms and by being interactive, the info actually sinks in! Thank you for the excel spreadsheet to go with the notes I took. I have never been in a course that made the day go so fast - I was totally engrossed! I am so pleased that I attended. Thank you to the CII and all involved.

Informative and thought provoking course

The trainer was really good - the course would be good for candidates with no experience in insurance. I was sent on the course after 4 years experience so I knew everything already. The venue was very cramped - we were put in a very small room and 5 of us sharing one small table so a little bit claustrophobic. Also could not open window / no air con so it got very warm very fast.

Overall, the training room was good but due to the air conditioning, we were cold.

Discussions were very good and instructor very knowledgeable. I am now working in Switzerland so little more international aspects will be nice.

I attended this course with a view to improving my existing knowledge, as it was supposed to be an Intermediate course. however I felt that the pitch was more towards a beginners course, and whilst it was interesting and I believe the trainer was very knowledgeable I felt that I did not really gain much new knowledge. I also felt that the time on the course was not managed very well.

The course over ran and did not finish until after 5pm which is late for a Friday and a London course. We were advised it would finish by 4.30pm.
