The Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance (ANZIIF) is pleased to announce that it has been named Educational Service Provider of the Year at the 19th Asia Insurance Industry Awards in Singapore.

This is the 11th year that ANZIIF has won the award (2002-2004, 2006, 2008-2011, 2013-2015), which recognises the provision of outstanding and continuous education and training services to the insurance and reinsurance industry in the Asia-Pacific region. It follows the signing last month of an enhanced partnership agreement with the Thai Insurance Institute and ANZIIF’s continued activity across Asia.

“ANZIIF is delighted to be recognised as 2015 Educational Service Provider of the Year. We are absolutely focused on partnering with the industry across the region to provide quality education, training and professional development to support the growth and professionalism of insurance,” said Prue Willsford, CEO, ANZIIF.

Anton Barnett-Harris, General Manager, Education, Events and International, said this year has been an exciting one for ANZIIF’s education program.

“We have expanded our delivery of education and training across the Asia-Pacific, including signing a significant partnership agreement in Thailand, as well as focused on our work in China and other countries in the region. This is in addition to the development of an innovative program to develop future-focused industry education that will be delivered in shorter, more focused units to meet the needs of industry and insurance professionals. It is a hugely exciting time to be working with the region’s insurance industry,” he said.

The judging panel for the awards was made up of 29 industry leaders from around the world. The 19th Asia Insurance Industry Awards was organised by Singapore-based Asia InsuranceReview.

ANZIIF has members in 50 countries, largely from Asia, Australia and New Zealand.
