300-hour online course in claims frequency prediction for micromobility insurance. 6 modules covering Royal Decree 970/2020 (personal mobility vehicles), EN 17128 (lightweight personal electric vehicles) and Python (scikit-learn, XGBoost). Assigned tutor and open enrolment.
Course in Claims Frequency Prediction for Micromobility Insurance — studying from Malta
Insurance is one of Malta's established financial sectors, with a regulatory framework that has attracted captive insurers, reinsurers and specialist underwriters. This creates demand for professionals who can model risk, analyse claims data and support actuarial functions. Engineers with statistical skills are valued in pricing, reserving and risk management. Employers include licensed insurers, brokers, consultancies and the regulator itself, where quantitative and technical expertise is increasingly important.
Fees for Malta: €743 (Euro), with instalments and employer sponsorship available.

Questions from Malta
Which professional bodies in Malta relate to insurance, risk and actuarial work, and does SEIUM's qualification fit?
SEIUM Institute's qualifications are private qualifications, not official Maltese state degrees, and they are not accredited by any national body. In Malta, insurance and financial services are supervised by the Malta Financial Services Authority, and professional actuarial qualifications are set by international bodies that Maltese firms commonly follow. Whether SEIUM's training is recognised is for employers or the relevant body to decide.
What roles in Malta might this training support in insurance or risk management?
Malta has a significant insurance, reinsurance and financial services sector, and firms there employ people in risk analysis, data and modelling roles. Whether a private engineering-focused qualification counts for a given role depends on the employer's requirements and the qualifications they already expect. Reviewing current job descriptions in Malta and asking employers directly will show how your training would be viewed.
How much time does this need each week, and what language level is required?
Master's programmes total 1,900 hours, postgraduate diplomas 800 hours and specialist courses 300 hours, delivered fully online. Spread over the programme length, this suits people working full-time if they set a steady weekly schedule. Teaching is in English, so you should be comfortable reading and writing technical English. Fees can be paid in instalments, and employer sponsorship is possible.

How you'll learn
100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded lessons and an assigned technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which makes it possible to combine study with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Python (scikit-learn, XGBoost), R (glm), SHAP, MLflow, in free, academic or evaluation versions. The case studies are based on real frequency modelling procedures using trip data, out-of-sample validation and model fairness analysis. Assessment is continuous, module 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.
Prepare claims data for e-scooters and e-bikes.
Fit base frequency and severity models.
Apply machine learning models with overfitting control.
Incorporate driving telematics variables into the model.
Translate predictions into pricing and prevention measures.
