Systems Updates

Further Developments

At the heart of broker ASSESS is the enhanced broker-validated question bank. The question bank has been reviewed and validated, under BIBA and CII guidance, to ensure maximum relevance to brokers. The question bank now holds over 3,500 questions.

The automatic record-keeping with broker ASSESS allows the firm to see at a glance exactly what tests have been taken and the associated scores. The reports within the system have been designed by compliance specialists to provide the firm with a variety of different data outputs, all geared to validating competence.

broker ASSESS contains over 200 new interactive technical e-learning modules (with questions, feedback, graphics, examples and activities) covering the range of topics. The table below shows the spread of the modules under their subject headings in broker ASSESS:

Subject headings	No. of new e-learning modules	Hours of learning	No. of new key facts (PDF)
Fundamentals of Insurance	33	19	6
Legal Context	44	26	3
Personal Lines	48	31	22
Commercial Lines	55	25	35
Insurance Marketplace	21	11	7
Regulation	19	22	5
Supervision and Management	21	12	1
Claims	23	13	5
Total	264	159	84

Each of the above modules is mapped to the broker ASSESS question bank.

Linking learning to assessment questions improves the effectiveness of the assessment process by providing users with a list of modules relating to the questions within the company assessment that they are about to take.

In addition to helping learners to prepare for an assessment, the new Recommended Learning feature can be used post-assessment.
