International Underwriting Association Confirm Sponsorship of two CII Qualification Prizes

It has been announced that the International Underwriting Association (IUA) will provide sponsorship for two CII (Chartered Insurance Institute) Marine unit prizes. Beginning this year, the IUA will sponsor prizes for the M90 and M98 units, to be awarded as part of the CII’s annual prize giving ceremony. 

The IUA is the representative body for companies in London providing international and wholesale insurance and reinsurance coverage. The body has participated in sponsorship of CII Qualification prizes since 1999, including the CII Diploma in Insurance prize. It will now also sponsor the M90 - Cargo and Goods in Transit Insurances, and M98 - Marine Hull and Associated Liabilities units.

All candidates who have successfully completed the units will be automatically entered. Each unit has an associated cash prize, which will be awarded to the candidate who achieves the highest overall score for the respective unit.

The CII awards 34 Qualification prizes each year, which are sponsored by a wide range of insurance and personal finance organisations.

Nicola Mellor, Qualifications Director at the CII, said: “We are delighted that the IUA has committed to sponsorship of the CII single unit Marine prizes. Our qualification awards are a wonderful opportunity to recognise exceptional performance from our students, and encourage the pursuit of excellence within the insurance and personal finance professions.”

Christopher Jones, Director of Legal, Underwriting and Claims at the IUA, said: “Supporting education and training opportunities for our member companies is a key IUA priority. We are delighted to support the career development qualifications provided by the CII and formally recognise the outstanding achievements of individual candidates.”
