Testimonials

  • I wholeheartedly recommend Davies

    I wholeheartedly recommend Davies, my learning journey has been clear and supported and I passed first time – thank you!
  • I wouldn't have been given this opportunity if it wasn't for them.

    The sessions were all informative and gave good insight to the insurance world. I've now secured a role as an Administrative Broker and I'm looking forward to starting. Thank you to Davies and their team as I wouldn't have been given this opportunity if it wasn't for them.
  • The workshops were well run and interesting.

    The workshops were well run and interesting, I was confident that the tutors were experienced and knowledgeable which was great. I feel like I have a foundation of knowledge about insurance which has helped me secure a role as a Claims Data Analyst.
Insurance is not as boring as people think! We need young people, and we need a different range of traits and specialities. Insurance is a stable career to get into but also varied as there are so many avenues. There is also a lot of flexibility to balance both home and work life. If you want to progress, there is nothing stopping you in insurance if you are willing to study and put the work in. It’s such a huge industry and really does cater for everyone!
