Course Overview

The Large & Complex Claims Management Training Course provides an advanced professional framework for managing high-value, complex, and technically challenging insurance claims. The course focuses on developing the analytical, technical, operational, and decision-making capabilities required to manage significant claims from initial notification through investigation, evaluation, negotiation, settlement, and closure.

The course also addresses claims governance, reserving, authority levels, escalation, negotiation, fraud considerations, recovery opportunities, and claims leakage. Participants will learn how to maintain control over complex claims while ensuring appropriate documentation, transparency, consistency, and alignment with policy terms and organizational risk appetite. Through realistic case studies and practical simulations, participants will strengthen their ability to manage complex claims strategically, challenge assumptions, evaluate financial exposure, negotiate effectively, and make well-supported settlement decisions while protecting the insurer's financial interests and maintaining appropriate customer outcomes.
