Hear what our students have to say about their experience at MII.

I joined the insurance industry with very minimal knowledge and that made me start the quest for a structured learning programme which covers the industry supply chain. The search led to AMII – a programme that enables, upon completion, understanding of every important aspect of the industry. AMII incorporates flexibility, which allows choosing electives that suit individual needs. AMII exposes individuals to common terminologies and understanding that help to connect various stakeholders. AMII has provided the required solid foundation.

Having had the chance to study and experience what MII has to offer was a remarkable opportunity. Completing AMII with MII has been an astounding journey. The compassion shown from the faculty of MII has been heart-warming. The lecturers of MII were undoubtedly the most experienced and knowledgeable teachers I have met.

MII’s dedication to provide its students with knowledge and experience and the ultra-modern methods used to facilitate students with the best learning experience, was profound. The AMII course is designed to accommodate fresh out-of-school students as well as field experienced individuals or anyone who is interested in choosing Insurance as a carrier path.

Ms Mariyam Nazra

I completed my AMII programme back in the year 2012. During this Programme, one of the most important things that I realized was that the lecturers who were training us came with immense experience and knowledge of insurance in general and the subject modules in particular. In addition, the facilities available in the training rooms and international student lounge were exceptional.

After completing the AMII programme I got the chance to work in various departments in the Allied Insurance Company such as Claims, Underwriting and Reinsurance department. The knowledge that I acquired and insurance theories that I learnt from the AMII programme helped me to make important work decisions. Furthermore, it also aided me in my everyday work life in all the different technical areas that I worked. Moreover, the AMII Programme includes a range of significant insurance modules and all of these benefitted me during challenges at work. Therefore, I find this programme a game changer and I would recommend it.
