What trends do YOU perceive?
6 propositions for debate!
Proposition number 1
Each national insurance market needs a vocational system customised to its own needs.
Proposition number 2
The increasingly complex and challenging requirements of the market demand an academic background.
Proposition number 3
Diploma courses are outdated. What we need is a series of short, flexible training sequences throughout our lives.
Proposition number 4
Schools have been rendered obsolete. Modern coaching and training takes place directly at work.
Proposition number 5
It is an illusion to believe that qualified insurance experts can move between markets. Different markets have different needs in terms of qualifications.
Proposition number 6
The mutual recognition of qualifications, ECTS, ECVET, etc, is a thing of the past. We need a Euroinsurer!
