PANAMERICAN SURETY ASSOCIATION
VII PASA SCHOOL
Monday 1 and Tuesday 2 October 2018
Lima (Peru)
Venue: Hotel Hilton Miraflores
Languages: Spanish and English (with simultaneous translation)
PASA’s authorities have decided to sponsor this program again to continue encouraging PASA members’ training.
We successfully held the School I program in the city of San José de Costa Rica in October 2012, the School II program in the city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, in October 2013, the School III program in the city of Viña del Mar, Chile, in September 2014, the IV School program in the city of Asuncion, Paraguay, in October 2015, the V School program in the city of San Juan, Puerto Rico in September 2016 and the VI School program in the city of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic in October 2017 within the framework of the Technical Seminars.
While we keep on working on the development of this training model for all areas of specialization our underwriters require, we will repeat the first edition so that more officers may have access to this training tool.
This is specific training that‑as far as we understand‑is not given by any university or institute in the Americas, where most of our members are currently located.
It is intended to provide knowledge on the industry for underwriters of companies that do not have comprehensive in-house training programs in place.
It is a high-impact academic course addressed to underwriters with two years’ experience or more. It is oriented towards the strengthening of their areas of knowledge and seeks to give the participants the opportunity of becoming more deeply immersed in the industry’s key management issues.
We will provide pre-course reading material and each instructor may require that the attendees participate in problem solving activities, reading tests or individual or group work.
Taking into account our members’ opinions, in this edition simultaneous translation from Spanish into English and from English into Spanish will be provided during the academic program so that all our member companies’ officers may participate without language barriers.
