CPCU Question and advice
Posted: Tue Jun 11, 2013 1:11 am
Hi - I have a couple of questions that I have been mulling over for a while and thought I would 'put it out there' to get some advice.
I am at a smallish Lloyds Broker in London and have just hit 41 years of age. Although I have both Bachelor's and Masters degrees in unrelated subjects, I am really looking to move my career on and progressing and am wondering whether the CPCU would provide me with one of the tools in doing so? I place Excess and Surplus Lines business in London and travel to the US regularly but my questions are that apart from the obvious gain in knowledge I would get, realistically, would the CPCU provide opportunities to network and meet new people? Also, how would potential clients view a Brit having a CPCU? Would they feel that it is 'someone to do business with'?
Look forward to hearing from everyone.
