BB Seguros is launching a complete course with a certificate for training new experts in rural insurance.

“The expansion of agricultural frontiers and the techno-scientific advancement of machines, equipment, geotechnologies, management and risk management, benefit the rural segment and also create the need to keep the insurance area up to date, training the professionals who carry out their activities in it”, comments Paulo Hora, Superintendent of Rural Insurance at Brasilseg. ”This aspect is even more important in relation to experts who work in the field, who are one of the main links between the insurance company and the rural producer. We have the ambition to be the biggest trainer of professionals in the rural insurance segment in Brazil”, adds the executive.

The BB Seguros expert training course will enable the understanding of the main demands of insurers and, especially, the techniques applied, conduct and performance of experts when claims occur.

The distance learning distance learning modules allow you to increase the reach of the course and will be made available on the Broto platform, developed by Brasilseg and Banco do Brasil to be the largest digital agribusiness ecosystem in the country, with one of its verticals as the training front. .

With this initiative, BB Seguros intends to meet a latent need for qualifications in Brazil, where there is a lack of technical education based on quality theoretical content.
