Micromobility Insurance Course (e-scooters, e-bikes) — studying from Ireland
Ireland is an established international hub for insurance, reinsurance and captive insurance, with Dublin hosting a large concentration of insurers, brokers and actuarial functions. The Central Bank of Ireland regulates insurance undertakings and the sector's solvency and conduct requirements. Engineers and analysts in this area work on risk modelling, catastrophe analysis, pricing and data-driven underwriting, often combining technical, statistical and regulatory expertise. Professional qualifications and standards are maintained by the Society of Actuaries in Ireland and related bodies.
Fees for Ireland: €644 (Euro), with instalments and employer sponsorship available.

Questions from Ireland
Which professional bodies in Ireland relate to this area, and is this qualification recognised by them?
In Ireland, actuarial work is associated with the Society of Actuaries in Ireland, and risk and data professionals may also look to bodies such as the Institute of Banking. SEIUM's qualifications are private and not accredited by any national body, so they do not confer membership or exemptions from these bodies. Confirm any exemption policies directly with the relevant institute before enrolling.
How is training like this typically viewed by employers in Ireland's insurance and risk sector?
Insurers and financial firms in Ireland generally value recognised professional qualifications most highly. A private online qualification is judged on its content and on your demonstrated skills, including your final project. Employers decide whether it is relevant to a given role, so it is best used to support existing experience rather than as a standalone credential.
What is the practical workload and language requirement for studying this online?
Programmes are taught entirely in English and delivered 100% online, so you can study from anywhere in Ireland or abroad. Workload depends on the programme length: specialist courses are 300 hours, postgraduate diplomas 800 hours and master's programmes 1,900 hours. Each student has an assigned technical tutor, and fees can be paid in instalments.

How you'll learn
Training 100% online on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and a dedicated technical tutor. No fixed timetable: 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 Python (pandas), QGIS, Power BI, advanced Excel, in free, academic or evaluation versions. The exercises are based on real procedures for analysing scooter accident rates in a city and designing a policy for a rental operator. Assessment is continuous across modules plus the final capstone project.
