LEARISK´s training courses

Courses

40 years of experience support LEA in offering targeted training programs to managers and employees of technical and commercial areas from Insurance and Reinsurance companies as well as to risk managers from industrial companies.

The seminars aim to:

  1. Strengthen and deepen knowledge in order to make risk management more efficient in commercial and industrial companies
  2. Analyze the problem and employ specific techniques for the management of risks related to the industrial activity within the legal framework in force and the insurance conditions in the country the policy is issued.
  3. Analyze and study the different clauses, exclusion clauses and additional coverage which contemplate the risks and their adjustment to the requirements from insured and insurers.

The courses and seminars we organize are unique opportunities to create environments to think about technical solutions considering the business real situation.

Seminars can be of either of open or restricted access according to specific requirements, either on site or online learning courses (e-learning platform developed).
