IEI, a division of AMS (Reinsurance) Services Ltd. are the 2008/9 organisers of the Academy programme

The ARC academy was set up in the summer of 2005 for the dual purpose of providing cost effective and relevant training courses to the membership of the Association. All such courses count towards Continuing Professional Development.

The chair of the Academy, currently Bill Bower FCII, commit a large amount of their own time to the running of the Academy for which the Board are extremely grateful. A recent ARC survey reflected that when a company made the move from live operation to legacy management staff training and career opportunities were often put onto the back seat due to financial and resource constraints.

Therefore the ARC membership, using the combined facility allowed by the association, tried an approach that worked within the new financial constraints and addressed areas where staff may require new, or revised, skills. This then was the formation of the Academy.

Academy speakers, are all volunteers and come from a wide range of service providers relevant to the legacy market. ARC, as ever, are grateful to them for their time and support in this ongoing, and growing, programme.

Effective from 1st October 2007, ARC, through use of a CII CPD Accreditation licence, are permitted to 'self-certify' their events against the CII CPD Accreditation standards. CII CPD accreditation is only used for events which are insurance/financial services related and a sufficiently high standard to contribute to CII members' CPD.

ARC Cancellation & Refund Policy

Payments by MasterCard/Visa will attract a 3% service charge (reflecting the charge levied on ARC). Cancellation and refund of monies paid will not be permitted any later than 14 days prior to the event and in the event of cancellation any later than 14 days prior to the event, or non-attendance, any monies due from you will remain due. In the unfortunate event of the cancellation of any ARC event due to circumstances beyond the control of ARC, any monies paid by you will not be refundable (and any monies due from you will remain due) to the extent that ARC has paid or has committed to pay the costs of organising the event and cannot itself obtain reimbursement.

ARC will not be responsible for any airfare or other costs incurred by registrants. NO liability is assumed by ARC for changes in the programme date, content, speakers or venue.
