Caspar Bartington, CII relationship manager for further and higher education, believes that accreditation comes at the right time for the sector: "The successful application by Skills Solutions gives a wide range of employers across the North of England a clear signal that here is an experienced and expert training organisation aligning itself with the CII. As the uptake of apprenticeships continues to expand in insurance and wider financial services sectors, I have no doubt that high quality accredited providers such as Skills Solutions will be sought after."
Susan Wood, commercial training team leader at Swinton Insurance, commented: "'We are really pleased with how well we are working with Skills Solutions. The apprenticeship programme gives us an ideal combination of providing those employees involved with 'real life' commercial broking experience and the opportunity to achieve a recognised qualification."
