How you'll learn
100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: you progress at your own pace within the intake, so the programme can be combined with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is R, Python with pandas, WTW Emblem and Microsoft Power BI, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Testing is studied through real procedures for processing driving data, telematics pricing models and fleet prevention plans. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final Master's Thesis.
Standards covered: Royal Legislative Decree 8/2004, Directive (EU) 2021/2118, Law 35/2015, Law 50/1980 on Insurance Contracts, Regulation (EU) 2019/2144, Regulation (EU) 2016/679, Regulation (EU) 2023/2854.
