Training

Overview

We take great pride in our provision of training to the London Market, via virtual and physical classrooms and our comprehensive suite of online learning modules and resources.

Online Learning – Learning Management System (LMS)

PPL have developed core training videos for brokers (15 minutes) and carriers (6 minutes), which can be accessed via our new, best in class learning management system (LMS). The LMS can be accessed directly from the Next Gen platform using the single sign-on PPL Learning link in the menu on the left-hand side of the main screen. You can also login to the LMS from outside of Next Gen via this link: https://placingplatformlimited.sabacloud.com/?bdr=true

Features of the LMS are as follows:

  • Short videos and training modules covering all processes
  • Recordings of live sessions
  • Access to sign up for classroom sessions
  • Ability to rate and provide feedback on content
  • Ability to share content with your co-workers
  • Automatic logging of learning time for your CPD e.g. attendance of classroom sessions, completed online learning modules

Virtual Classroom Training

When we first went live with PPL, we were able to train all our users in a classroom.  When user numbers increased as we grew, we focused classroom training on those who performed train-the-trainer and super-user roles in their organisations.

Virtual classroom sessions have proved popular (especially since Covid) and are available for users at Broker and Underwriter organisations via the LMS. Courses available are –

  • Overview sessions ranging from 30 minutes to 90 minutes in length
  • Super User sessions: 3.5 hours for Brokers and 2.5 hours for Underwriters

We also run classroom Super User and Train the Trainer sessions at our London office, depending on demand.
