The Association for International Life Offices (Ailo) is set to launch a new CPD programme which provides a view of the cross-border life insurance, pensions and wealth management sectors.
This news comes during the association’s plans for Learning at Work Week, which Ailo believes is a good time to focus on how the financial services sector is addressing access to education and training, and what more the industry can do to support employees’ personal and professional development.
The newly established CPD programme will be launched in response to requests from members for more eLearning opportunities that meet the training requirements in the Insurance Distribution Directive (IDD) and related legislation.
It follows the launch of Ailo’s eLearning platform, which has delivered over 5,000 modules, offering a total of 11 hours of CPD across the current nine modules.
Simon Willoughby, proposition executive at Ailo, said: “The new Ailo Navigate Series of eLearning modules builds on the original Ailo programme and has the stated objective of ‘guiding you through the complexities of the life insurance market’.”
“Ailo Navigate 1 consists of 15 one-hour modules that aim to demystify the life sector by delivering information in an accessible form that gradually reveals the ‘mysteries’ of the industry in a way that’s engaging and allows individuals to move through each module at a pace they can control. The Ailo Navigate Series takes the view that aspects of the life sector can be complex, but it should be possible for everybody who works in the sector to be able to gain a firm grasp of how it all works.
“Ailo Navigate 2, currently in production and due for release in early 2024, will provide a series of practical case studies and problem-solving exercises that build on Ailo Navigate 1 which will allow individuals to demonstrate their understanding and application of the IDD.”
Ailo’s eLearning modules are available to all of its members which span the UK, Europe, UK Crown Dependencies, and the British Overseas Territories of Bermuda and the Cayman Islands.
