PO5 - Insurance Law Exam Revision Workshop

About This Workshop
The PO5 Insurance Law exam is generally recognised as the stiffest challenge facing students of the CII Diploma in Insurance. The sheer volume and complexity of the study material can prove daunting to even the strongest candidates, and the pass rate is accordingly low compared to other units in the diploma.

If you are sitting the PO5 exam in October, this practical workshop (spread over two days to allow comprehensive and meaningful coverage of the exam syllabus) can give you the extra support and focus required to succeed in this unit and keep your progress to the diploma on track.

Led by a qualified and highly experienced tutor you will be able to clarify problem areas, practice questions with constructive feedback and review past papers. Class size is restricted to ensure all candidates receive individual support and attention.

How you will benefit
Attending this course will enable you to:

• Develop a structured approach to revision
• Break up the study material into more accessible and digestible segments
• De-mystify the legal complexities
• Brush up on exam techniques
• Learn how to answer the questions in the way the examiner is looking for
• Practice past questions and receive feedback
• Clarify and validate your understanding with a qualified technical expert

At the end of the course you will have both a greater knowledge and understanding of the subject matter and be more confident and better equipped in your exam technique.

Who should attend?
This workshop will offer practical help and valuable support for anyone planning to take the PO5 exam in October 2011.

Training Approach
This workshop uses a combination of trainer input, interactive syndicate work and case studies. Group size is limited to create a supportive learning environment and facilitate knowledge transfer and experience sharing.
