FERMA and Lloyd's partner on training programme
Julia Graham, the president of the Federation of European Risk Management Associations (FERMA), and Benno Reischel, Lloyd's head of Europe, have launched the 3rd edition of the FERMA-Lloyd's Professional Development Programme at the 2015 FERMA Forum, currently taking place in Venice.
The FERMA programme, targeted at promising European risk managers, is comprised of three, two-day sessions over the course of a year and provides a mix of practical and interactive sessions. Topics covered include: Lloyd's and the London insurance market, risk management, exposure management, performance management, international markets, emerging risks, the international regulatory context and claims management.
Also as a result of demand, FERMA and Lloyd's now also envisage a 'masters' day' in the third quarter of 2016 when experienced risk managers can meet senior representatives of the London market to share knowledge and understanding.
Reischel, who coordinates the programme, said: "I am delighted to be launching the third training programme at the FERMA Forum. So far more than 40 risk managers from 14 different countries across Europe have taken part and the feedback has been excellent.
"We want to make sure risk managers can access the knowledge and experience they need to support them in their jobs. This programme gives them a great opportunity to learn about how insurance can support their business and share knowledge across borders and industries. We are looking forward to receiving the new delegates for the third edition in 2016.”
Graham added: "This programme has been such a success with promising risk managers that we have been asked to find a way of extending it to experienced risk managers across Europe, and we are working with Lloyd's to develop the masters' day."
