How you'll learn
100% online training on the SEIUM Institute campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which allows them to combine it with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Remetrica (Aon), Igloo (WTW), R, Advanced Excel, Guidewire ClaimCenter, in free, academic or evaluation versions. The case studies are based on real procedures for designing a proportional and non-proportional reinsurance programme, managing a simulated major claim, and a recovery plan against liable third parties. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final integrating project.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
Analyse the alternatives for risk retention and risk transfer.
Design coverage suited to the risk profile.
Structure reinsurance programmes and assess their effectiveness.
Manage catastrophic and extraordinary risks.
Coordinate the management of major claims.
