Home > Courses > Considerations when calculating life insurance needs
Move beyond ‘how much cover?’ to delivering ethical, client-centred life insurance recommendations that protect what matters most.
Need help?
Calculating life insurance needs is more than a numbers exercise. It is a professional judgement that shapes a client’s financial security and long-term wellbeing.
In this topic, you will develop how to centre your recommendations on what the client is truly seeking to protect. You will explore practical ways to assess appropriate levels of cover, balance and affordability with sustainable premium structures, and apply sound professional judgement in complex client scenarios.
The focus is on delivering recommendations that are ethical, defensible and clearly aligned to client goals, so you can confidently explain not just how much cover is appropriate, but why it matters.
