LV= launches income protection training programme

The LV= IP Summer School programme has been designed to support advisers in their income protection conversations with clients and will consist initially of four modules: Wake up to IP; Personal Sick Pay; IP product range; and Rental market opportunities. Advisers can book one or more of the LV= sessions on a weekday that suits them.

Each session, which is delivered by one of the LV= team, lasts approximately 30 minutes and covers popular topics such as: sales ideas, brushing up on product knowledge and exploring new protection opportunities. Advisers will earn Continuing Professional Development for each one completed.

Myles Rix, Managing Director Protection, at LV=, said:

“As leaders in the income protection market, we want to make sure that people get the financial protection they need, in case they are unable to work due to an accident or illness.

“Advisers often tell us they want to increase their confidence in IP matters, but don’t have the time to attend day-long courses. LV= Summer School is a quick, easy and flexible way for advisers to learn more. We’re delighted with the response and demand from our initial pilot activity – with requests for over 200 sessions so far – and we look forward to supporting many more advisers over the summer months.”
