Upon her graduation, Duncan received the designation of Chartered Life Underwriter; the world’s most respected designation of insurance expertise, allowing designees to gain a significant advantage in a competitive market.

“This prestigious course of study helps to advance the career of insurance professionals by providing in-depth knowledge on the financial needs of individuals, business owners and professional clients,” according to a college representative.
