PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD 
This Unit Standard is intended for Underwriters who write high risk high value transportation insurance. It may be useful for Intermediaries who specialise in transportation insurance which is a specialised class of insurance.

  • Analysing the risks associated with different methods of transportation and selected routes in a cross border consignment.
  • Applying knowledge of international conventions and codes to cross border transportation.
  • Applying the risk management process to construct an insurance policy for a high value, high risk scenario.

    This information shows the current accreditations (i.e. those not past their accreditation end dates), and is the most complete record available to SAQA as of today. Some Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionaries have a lag in their recording systems for provider accreditation, in turn leading to a lag in notifying SAQA of all the providers that they have accredited to offer qualifications and unit standards, as well as any extensions to accreditation end dates.
