Continental Re has boosted the capacity of about 1700 insurance practitioners in the first half of 2024.
A statement from the firm on Friday indicated that the training programmes, attended by 1,700 participants, covered various topics within the non-life and life insurance classes for both treaty and facultative business.
According to the firm, these areas included agriculture, reinsurance accounting, emerging risks (such as banker’s blanket bond), oil and gas, engineering, credit life and mortgage protection, and fraud detection and prevention, among others.
The beneficiaries of the training, who were mainly insurance professionals from Nigeria and Ghana, expressed high levels of satisfaction with the training.
