I’ve always wanted to excel academically as well as professionally. As my chosen career is in the service sector, I have often felt a little twinge of regret that I didn’t get a PhD like all my friends.
Insurance is the career I chose, and I do genuinely love it. But it’s more than just making a sale – I wanted to be the best, and give people the benefit of high quality advice. Being recognised as “Chartered” means that I have learned and demonstrated my knowledge and understanding of the complex world of insurance.
It took years of study, a multitude of exams and assignments, and a lot of dedication to earn an Advanced Diploma in Insurance (ACII). From there, I was able to apply to our industry body, the Chartered Insurance Institute, for Chartered status.
In December 2016 I got my gold membership card, which puts me in an exclusive club of insurance nerds! So pleased I finally achieved it!
