How you'll learn

100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetables: you progress at your own pace within the intake, so it fits around your job.

Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original regulations and applied exercises. The working software is Power BI, Python, R, XBRL Processing Engines (Arelle) and Tableau, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Exercises are based on real procedures: comparing supervisory processes across jurisdictions, assessing compliance with IAIS standards and designing recovery plans for insurers. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final Master's Thesis.

Standards covered: IAIS Insurance Core Principles (ICP), IAIS ComFrame, Directive 2009/138/EC (Solvency II), Law 20/2015 (LOSSEAR), Royal Decree 1060/2015 (ROSSEAR), Directive (EU) 2025/1 on the recovery and resolution of insurance and reinsurance undertakings, NAIC Financial Condition Examiners Handbook.

Assigned technical tutor:every module ends with a deliverable that your tutor marks individually.
Standards-based learning:guided reading of the IAIS ICPs and ComFrame, Solvency II and the Insurance Recovery and Resolution Directive applied to real cases, not as a theoretical annex.
Industry software:Power BI, Python, R, XBRL Processing Engines (Arelle) and Tableau, in free, academic or evaluation versions.
Master's Thesis with defence:A comparative study of insurance supervision across selected jurisdictions, assessed against IAIS standards, defended before a panel.
Flexible format:100% online, no fixed timetables, compatible with full-time work.
