Methodology, software & labs

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 you can combine it with your job.

Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is R, Python (pandas, scikit-learn), SAS, Prophet and ResQ, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Testing is studied on real procedures in an actuarial modelling environment, a claims data platform and a catastrophe scenario simulator. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final integrative project.

Standards covered: Solvency II (Directive 2009/138/EC), IFRS 17, Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/35, EIOPA Guidelines, ISO 31000, Law 20/2015 (LOSSEAR), Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), DORA (Regulation (EU) 2022/2554), AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689).

Assigned technical tutor:every module ends with a deliverable that your tutor marks individually.
Standards-based learning:guided reading of Solvency II, IFRS 17 and Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/35 applied to real cases, not as a theoretical annex.
Industry software:R, Python (pandas, scikit-learn), SAS, Prophet and ResQ, in free, academic or evaluation versions.
Final project:Integrative project on the risk assessment of a multimodal transport chain, reviewed by your tutor.
Flexible format:100% online, no fixed timetables, compatible with full-time work.
