Davies, the leading specialist professional services, consulting and technology business serving insurance and highly regulated markets, today announced that its national Skills Bootcamps for insurance and financial services have received endorsed short course accreditation from the Institute of Analytics (IoA), the professional body for analytics and data science professionals in the UK and worldwide.
Launched in January 2024 after receiving two years’ worth of government funding, Davies’ Skills Bootcamps are 12 week, flexible courses developed specifically to upskill workers in insurance and financial services with vital data skills, in order to meet the growing demands of digitalisation within the sectors.

The need for enhanced data skills within both insurance and financial services is only increasing. Our digital bootcamps have been specially designed by us to upskill the existing workforce to not only plug the data skills gap, but also retain much needed talent.”
Dr Clare Walsh, Director of Education at the IoA said: “We were very impressed with Davies’ Skills Bootcamps which have been robustly designed to not only meet our Analyst Competency Framework standards and high expectations but also the specific needs of firms working within the highly regulated insurance and financial services sectors.
