IASG Launches New 'Study Buddy' Programme

The IASG are excited to introduce their new Study Buddy Programme, designed to support candidates currently working toward their Diploma in Insurance or Advanced Diploma in Insurance.

The aim is simple

To connect those who are studying with members who have recently completed their qualifications and are happy to offer guidance, share their experience, and point candidates in the right direction. This initiative not only benefits those studying, but also provides valuable mentoring and coaching experience for our buddies.

Your expectations

To be absolutely clear - no answers, model responses, or assessment content may be shared. This programme is purely for support, direction, and encouragement.
