Every year, fleets of vehicles and heavy machinery face accidents, theft, and mechanical failure that can bring entire operations to a halt — which is exactly why a solid grasp of motor and machinery insurance has become essential for anyone managing transport or logistics assets. This Training Course from the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy equips participants with the practical know-how to structure, price, and manage insurance coverage across private vehicles, commercial fleets, heavy machinery, and mobile equipment, covering everything from policy structure and premium pricing to claims handling in line with international best practice.

It also unpacks the legal and regulatory side of motor insurance — the rules defining insurer-policyholder relationships and the fraud patterns that continue to challenge the sector — giving professionals in insurance, transport, and logistics management a chance to sharpen their judgment on risk and compliance alike, with a direct payoff in sounder day-to-day decisions and stronger operational outcomes.
