Do you have what it takes to be a training supervisor?
This article does not reflect the changes to the Regulation respecting the issuance and renewal of representatives’ certificates that will come into effect on September 14, 2026. As such, this article will be revised at the appropriate time. The best practices included in this article to help you properly supervise a trainee remain relevant.
Any damage insurance representative may act as a training supervisor, provided he or she has held a certificate for at least 24 out of the past 36 months.
The representative must not have been the subject of a disciplinary sanction nor have been struck off the membership roll in the past five years.
Consult the complete list of required qualifications on the website of the Autorité des marches financiers.
However, in reality, if a supervisor is to provide valuable training that will assist the new damage insurance professional in developing a flourishing career, he must have certain qualities that go beyond the mere legal requirements.
- Be able to devote time to working with the trainee.
- Have a gift for teaching
- Have a desire to share your knowledge
- Gradually help the trainee to become accountable.
Finally, it is important to prepare for the arrival of a trainee in order to get the best value out of the probationary experience.
