The "CII: Insurance Products & Client Needs Analysis" course provides a thorough foundation in the wide range of insurance products available across the UK market. Learners are introduced to the key categories of insurance, distinguishing between general and life insurance products while exploring detailed coverage options in personal and commercial lines. From motor, home, and travel insurance to business property and liability protection, the course covers essential policy structures, client considerations, and typical exclusions, enabling learners to confidently explain and recommend appropriate solutions.

In addition to product knowledge, the course emphasizes the critical skill of understanding and assessing client needs. Participants learn how to conduct effective fact-finding interviews, assess client risk profiles, analyse existing coverage gaps, and prioritise client objectives. Specific attention is given to life-stage planning, risk tolerance evaluation, and building comprehensive client reports that align insurance recommendations with client aspirations and exposures.

Life insurance and investment-linked products are also covered, providing learners with the ability to discuss pensions, annuities, endowments, and ethical considerations in insurance-based financial planning. Throughout the course, learners are guided on how to apply ethical principles, comply with Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulations, and follow Treating Customers Fairly (TCF) standards during the advice process.

Finally, learners engage in real-world case studies, applying their knowledge to simulated personal and business client scenarios. This practical approach ensures that graduates of the course are not only exam-ready but also workplace-ready, capable of delivering professional, ethical, and client-centric insurance advice that builds long-term trust and client satisfaction.
