Overview
Overview
The Award in General Insurance – W01 program at GUST Executive Education provides a solid introduction to the principles, practices, and environment of the insurance industry. It gives participants essential knowledge of insurance concepts, the structure of the market, and key legal and regulatory requirements. By completing this program, learners build a strong foundation in how insurance works across different sectors and prepare for the official CII W01 exam, with GUST recognized as an accredited provider by the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII).
TARGET AUDIENCE
This program is ideal for newcomers to the insurance profession, including entry-level staff, trainees, and those beginning careers in underwriting, claims handling, or broking. It also suits professionals in support or administrative roles within insurance companies who want to broaden their knowledge. In addition, it is valuable for professionals outside the sector—such as attorneys, financial advisors, or customer service specialists—who interact with insurance and want a clearer understanding of its fundamentals.
PROGRAM CONTENT
The program begins with an introduction to the purpose and nature of insurance, covering core concepts such as risk, pooling, and indemnity. Participants then study the insurance market and its players, exploring the roles of insurers, reinsurers, intermediaries, and regulators.
Next, the course reviews insurance law and regulation, including contract formation, insurable interest, utmost good faith, and compliance requirements. Learners then examine major insurance products, such as auto, property, liability, and life-related insurance, to understand their features and applications.
The program also looks at insurance documentation and processes, including proposals, policies, endorsements, and claims handling. It concludes with CII W01 exam preparation, featuring practice questions, test-taking strategies, and case studies to reinforce learning.
