West Midlands insurance provider launches first of its kind online learning hub.

Managing General Agent, Commercial Express, has introduced the free, market-leading offering titled CE Learning. The Brierley Hill firm is the only MGA in the UK to offer a wide-ranging set of training courses completely free of charge for insurance agents and independent insurance brokers.

The concept has been developed to teach both new and experienced insurance professionals, while giving brokers a helping hand to grow their business.

CE Learning is made up of three elements which consist of the newly created e-learning online, plus webinar sessions and face-to-face in person training.

There are more than 400 courses available on the online platform, providing a learning solution for insurance compliance, product awareness, business skill courses and assessment. The offering is free for Commercial Express brokers, with easy access via desktop and mobile with a plethora of CII material.

Tracking CPD hours is also a feature of the platform, with a leader board, awards and downloadable certificates. The idea is that the scheme will help improve business conversion.

Digital learning specialist Jon Hill, who created CE Learning, said: “CE Learning is a fantastic tool for new and experienced insurance professionals, and we are extremely proud of the platform.

“A lot of hard work has gone into creating this product, and we have received some excellent feedback thus far. There is a huge range of different courses available, with modules for self-development as well as industry related topics.”

Whether a broker is looking for bitesize modules or full-length courses, the eLearning is system quick and simple to navigate. Every feature and course has been built by Commercial Express and is available to all the business’ agents free of charge.

Duncan Pritchard, managing director of Commercial Express, which was founded in 1999, said: “Commercial Express is the first MGA to launch an online training platform that is completely free for users. This is a very unique concept and I am looking forward to seeing how things progress.”
