Additional Marine
Course Options
For large companies, or for those who
cannot afford to attend a full five day
course, Marsh provides shorter, bespoke
marine insurance training seminars at
your own office location.

For those, who have sufficient numbers, a completely

“in-house” course, just for your own staff is something we have
already provided with great success for insurers, banks, and
shipping companies both in the UK and overseas, as well as for
insurance institutes and academies around the world.

For large companies in Europe, Asia, and America, this can be

a great alternative and more convenient option. We are happy
to discuss the numerous options for running such additional
courses at locations around the world.
