Each unit aims to develop specific technical, analytical and interpersonal knowledge and skills required to: 

  • effectively provide support in handling and investigating customer insurance claims
  • prepare and maintain relevant documentation
  • answer customer inquiries.

On completion, students will also have developed:

  • solid workplace relationship-building and communication skills
  • a good understanding of the general insurance industry and the General Insurance Code of Practice.

Insurance professionals can focus on specific areas they wish to develop by taking units as standalone short courses — or, if desired, units can be combined to attain the full Certificate IV in General Insurance.
