The Insurance Charities Launch Funding for Training and Learning during Covid 19

In response to the Covid 19 crisis, a fund has been launched to provide access to training and professional development for those working in the UK and Ireland.

Applicants will be able to secure the full cost of their training and choose the course and provider.

The course must be relevant to the insurance/financial planning sector and is only available to those already working in these areas. Applicants may want to consider their “essential” skills development such as leadership, communication, or time-management.

This new scheme will be administered by The Insurance Charities and will continue to run whilst funds are available.

Who can apply?

This fund will solely be available to:

  • those working in the insurance and financial planning sector in the UK and Ireland and;
  • who have been furloughed, are unemployed, have been made redundant, suffered business collapse, or those who are still working but concerned for the future.

Please read full eligibility criteria.

Applicants do not need to be members of the CII.

What do I need to provide?

You will need to provide evidence of your insurance service, full course details, and self-certification of financial need.

How do I apply?

Please complete and sign the application form and return via email, with any supporting documents to info@theinsurancecharities.org.uk
