Assurant Intermediary has announced the launch of its first interactive online training programme for its adviser website.

The training programme, titled An Introduction to Home Insurance, has been created to assist in several areas – with the protection specialist suggesting these areas include whether an advising firm has a new employee, is looking to add home insurance business to its customer offerings, or just wants a refresher on the sector.

Assurant Intermediary revealed the course is part text and part video commentary, and includes multiple choice questions that upon successful completion, yield 60 minutes of CPD accreditation and a personalised pass certificate.

Assurant Intermediary head of distribution, Carl Stacey, commented: “A lot of assumptions can be made that home insurance is relatively easy to understand. We have found that advisers want the confidence to actually offer advice and help to their customers with their home insurance needs.

“Confidence grows in proportion to the understanding of the terms and conditions surrounding the product as well as the vocabulary that is used and is the basis of this introduction programme.

“Having engaged with advisers face to face, it has encouraged many advisers to offer home insurance and it seemed a logical move to make the material we use available to our introducing advisers and partners online.”
