Name: Sama Salah Ashour
Qualifications: Certificate (Cert CII)
Sama Salah Ashour is a Specialist in Global Underwriting in Egypt and she recently attained the CII Certificate. For Sama, the experience was more than just passing an exam, it was about the journey itself, about her self-discovery and personal development.
She explains: “For me, progressing in the CII pathway is not just an academic milestone; it’s shaping my mindset, strengthening my skills, and opening new opportunities for growth in my underwriting career. I’m truly grateful for my CII journey - it motivates me even more to continue advancing and to achieve the goals I’ve set for myself in this field.”
Sama is currently studying for the CII Diploma, cognizant of how she is able to build on the solid foundation of knowledge, know-how and technical ability that the Certificate has afforded her.
She found the study process convenient and flexible, explaining “ The learning process was very clear and well-structured, and I found the online exam format both flexible and efficient. I was able to manage my study time alongside my day-to-day responsibilities without any major disruption.
“By nature, I genuinely enjoy studying, especially when it’s something I am passionate about, so the learning journey with the CII felt motivating rather than overwhelming. It helped me stay focused, organised, and continuously engaged with the technical aspects of my role.”
