CMA: Workshop for Insurance Agents

The Capital Market Authority will organise a training workshop for insurance agents in collaboration with the Public Authority for Small and Medium Enterprises targeting national cadres to acquaint them with  technical and administrative skills required for distributing  licensed insurance products.

The five day workshop will start on 18 December at the premises of the Public Authority for Small and Medium Enterprises “Riyadah” at Ghala.

Rashid Mohammed Al Rashdi, director of Requirements and Licensing Department at CMA said the workshop is being held for the second time this year stressing CMA is keen to promote the profession of insurance agents as it attracts the entrepreneurs of small and medium enterprises as well as a response to the requirements of the insurance agents regulations which directs the sector toward Omanisation of insurance agents’ profession for added value to the national economy and achieving the partnership with the private sector to be able to accommodate national cadres.

Al Rashdi added that the programme would enhance the spread of insurance agents at the licensed insurance companies for its importance in spreading  insurance coverage in the various wilayats of the Sultanate.

The insurance agents’ programme is part of CMA’s endeavors to achieve the visions to enable the Omani youth  working for insurance  companies, brokers and agents to take administrative and technical roles and to enhance their skills to upgrade the sector.
