Description

Financial competency forms part of the mandatory minimum knowledge topics under the Insurance Distribution Directive (IDD). The FCA has not been prescriptive as to what financial competency should cover, but only that it needs to be relevant to the role undertaken.

In this course we explore financial competency taking a top-level look at what General Insurance (GI) intermediaries and brokers should know when dealing with and in some circumstances advising customers.

This course is divided into 2 parts:

  • Part 1 : Key Financial Concepts, Factors & Considerations
  • Part 2: Spotlight on Commercial Clients & Company Accounts

We suggest that learners take a break in between parts 1 & 2.

Note: This course is designed to be informative and so does not have an associated assessment. Some of the elements covered have separate applicable courses that take a deeper dive into the subjects, and these will be highlighted throughout the course.

This course covers topics outlined in the FCA's minimum knowledge requirements for the Core Competency in Financial Competency.
