THE CHALLENGE

The offshore life insurance sector relies on a highly skilled workforce, yet new entrants often arrive with limited sector-specific knowledge.

AILO identified the need to:

Provide a consistent foundation for staff new to offshore life insurance
Support member firms with structured onboarding and early-stage training
Raise baseline understanding across the sector
Ensure training carried professional credibility through CPD certification

Traditional classroom training was not scalable or accessible enough to meet the needs of a geographically distributed membership.

The collaborative approach

AILO partnered with Governance People Limited to design and deliver a dedicated eLearning platform and course suite for the sector.

The collaboration focused on:

Designing training specifically for new entrants
Ensuring relevance across multiple member organisations
Creating a centralised, accessible learning environment

The Solution

Together, AILO and Governance People developed:

A bespoke eLearning platform for AILO members
A suite of six courses designed specifically for new entrants to the offshore life insurance sector

Key features of the solution included:

Clear, structured learning pathways
Practical, industry-relevant content
Online, self-paced delivery

Importantly, the courses are offered free of charge to all staff of AILO member organisations, removing cost as a barrier to high-quality training.

Outcomes and impact

The collaboration has delivered:

A consistent entry-level training standard across the offshore life sector
Improved confidence and understanding among new entrants
Reduced onboarding burden for member firms
A scalable model for future sector-wide learning initiatives

By centralising training at industry level, AILO has strengthened capability across its entire membership.

Why this collaboration worked

This collaboration succeeded because it combined:

Deep sector insight from AILO
Professional eLearning design and delivery from Governance People
A platform-based approach that scales across organisations
CPD certification that adds real professional value

The result is a sustainable, accredited training ecosystem that benefits both firms and individuals.
