Pearson VUE partners with the Chartered Institute of Loss Adjusters to deliver assessment for multiple insurance awards via computer-based testing
Pearson VUE, the leader in computer-based testing, has been chosen by the Chartered Institute of Loss Adjusters (CILA), the UK-based body which represents over 4,500 insurance professionals, to deliver assessment for its Certificate and Diploma membership qualifications.
The exclusive agreement will allow all CILA members, which
include Loss Adjusters and Claim Handlers, to undertake assessment
via Pearson VUE's global test centre network.
The Certificate exam will last for one hour and feature 40
assessment items, while candidates will have one and a half hours
to complete the Diploma exam containing 30 items. The exam
variations are designed to assess candidates' competencies within
loss adjusting and claim handling. Pearson VUE is currently working
with fellow Pearson entity, Pearson Work Based Learning (part of
Edexcel) to accredit the exams as BTEC qualifications.
Pearson VUE was chosen to deliver the CILA exams based on its
ability to provide a comprehensive testing solution. Pearson VUE
will support CILA by working with its staff to develop and review
test content, establish pass marks and provide access to learning
material via mindhub, Pearson VUE's online learning portal.
Malcolm Hyde, Executive Director of the Chartered Institute of
Loss Adjusters, said:
"We chose Pearson VUE based on its global reputation and
history of providing bespoke testing solutions. We are confident
that our partnership will see the establishment of prestigious
industry qualifications."
Suzana Lopes, Pearson VUE, VP EMEA Sales and Marketing,
added:
"Our partnership with CILA will provide Loss Adjusters and
Claim Handlers throughout the UK with the opportunity to undertake
assessment at a local and robustly secure test centre. This
provision will help qualified professionals to excel within the
insurance industry. We look forward to making the tests
internationally accessible and seeing them become accredited
qualifications."
