CII qualifications are an incredibly important part of the Towergate Business School – the qualification structure allows people to study relevant subjects at the right level and enables us to promote career development to support the business.
Our technical insurance roles at Towergate require an appropriate CII qualification and all our people have an active CPD programme. Our competency framework maps CII qualifications to roles and is integral to the development requirements of all employees.
We are hugely proud to be Chartered Insurance Brokers and Chartered Insurers, which evidence our commitment to employee development and the provision of excellent customer service.
