LIMITED SPACES! This 3 hour workshop will aid all those who are taking CII or PFS examinations. This interactive course will deal with how to impress the examiner, looking at the different examination terminology and what the examiner expects when they use key phrases.

Alan Chandler, one of the most popular insurance presenters in the UK, has been both tutor and examiner for many different CII subjects and is perfectly placed to provide us with a useful and generic overview of exam techniques.

Resilience and looking after yourself in challenging times
Many of us were used to working with others in an office, visiting clients face to face, having a daily routine and being able to live fulfilling lives meeting others and participating in hobbies. As our working and home lives are now changed drastically, we need to look after our physical wellbeing even more – and that of our families. This session is focused on your physical, emotional and mental wellbeing.
Susan Heaton-Wright returns to our local institute with an interactive webinar and a chance to ask questions and share good practice. The aim of this course is for attendees to go away with the knowledge and practical ways to improve their resilience in these challenging times.
