Intermediaries will be able to access Assurant Intermediary’s UPOS platform via BrokerZone.

In addition, Assurant will launch an online training facility on BrokerZone by the end of Q1 to help advisers develop a better understanding of insurance products.

This will include an online product knowledge test where intermediaries will have to score above 80% to pass.

Kevin Paterson, sales and marketing director, said: “If brokers fail first time around, each subsequent test will be completely different, ensuring they really do have to understand the product in order to pass rather than just learning the answers to the same paper.”

The online training facility will also include ‘product at a glance’ sheets giving an overview of each line of business available from Assurant Intermediary.

“Ultimately, our goal is to create a zone where brokers will not only be able to access product, training and compliance information as well as our quote and buy engine, but also have a comprehensive view of their own portfolios to help them better manage their business with us,” explained Paterson.
