AICLA training enrolments soar 45%
The Australasian Institute of Chartered Loss Adjusters (AICLA) has reported a 45% increase in training enrolments following international efforts to promote its qualifications.
Enrolment in the Diploma of Financial Services – Loss Adjusting qualification climbed 45% to 584 places in 2008, while Malaysian enrolments doubled.
The number of young people enrolling in study has climbed 77% among the 25 to 35-year bracket to 275 places, while female enrolments climbed from 116 to 133 places.
While loss adjusting firms contributed the bulk of candidates with 478 enrolments, some 68 enrolments came from insurance or broking firms.
AICLA qualifications are administered by ANZIIF.
AICLA President Ian McWalter told insuranceNEWS.com.au the organisation has worked hard to build its presence in the region, particularly in Asia.
“We’ve been going to Asia consistently, visiting with CEOs and the heads of the major companies, and we talk their employees through the benefits of the education process, and that seems to be bearing fruit,” he said.
“I think leaders of major companies are seeing the benefits of people being engaged in the education process and the benefit to their own practices. People are better educated and are providing a better service.”
