Consultation on the draft Vocational Qualifications Pathway for Insurance Industry

The Insurance Industry Training Advisory Committee started two projects on Vocational Qualifications Pathway (VQP) for Insurance industry (General Insurance) and (Life Insurance) respectively in 2019. The competencies and other relevant requirements for typical job roles in claims and underwriting along the VQP have been studied and recommended. The development of VQP aims to encourage practitioners to pursue suitable learning for their own career development, as well as to attract new blood to the industry by providing a clear roadmap for progression. VQP facilitates design of learning programmes which are relevant to employment which, as a result, enhances the quality of manpower training as a whole to support the development of the industry.

The draft VQPs drawn up for the Insurance industry are now ready for consultation (consultation period: 13 January - 29 February 2020). A consultation session will be held on 15 January 2020. The enrolment form of the consultation session can be downloaded at here.

Stakeholders wishing to express views on the draft VQPs can also complete the questionnaire and return it to the Qualifications Framework Secretariat by email (cattao@hkqf.hk), fax (3106 2035) or by mail (Units 901-903, 9/F, Sunlight Tower, 248 Queen's Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong).
