Dynamic Pricing Course for Micromobility Insurance
Online 300-hour course in dynamic pricing for micromobility insurance. 6 modules covering Royal Decree 970/2020 (personal mobility vehicles), Directive (EU) 2021/2118 (motor vehicle insurance) and Earnix. Assigned tutor and open enrolment.
Dynamic Pricing Course for Micromobility Insurance — studying from South Africa
South Africa has one of the more developed insurance and financial services sectors on the continent, with major insurers and reinsurers headquartered in Johannesburg and Cape Town. Actuarial and risk analysis skills are in demand for pricing, reserving and risk management. The Financial Sector Conduct Authority and the Prudential Authority regulate the sector, and insurers rely on data-driven models to meet capital and solvency requirements. Engineers with statistics and data skills are increasingly recruited into these roles.
Fees for South Africa: R 10 200 (South African rand), with instalments and employer sponsorship available.

Questions from South Africa
Will a SEIUM qualification be recognised by the professional bodies in South Africa for this area?
SEIUM qualifications are private qualifications, not official state degrees, and they are not accredited by any South African body. Actuarial work in South Africa is overseen by the Actuarial Society of South Africa (ASSA), whose professional credentials follow their own examination and regulatory routes. Recognition of a SEIUM qualification is decided by employers or the relevant body, so verify this directly with them before enrolling.
How might this qualification be used by employers in South Africa in insurance and risk roles?
Insurers, banks and risk consultancies look for strong data, modelling and risk skills. A private qualification may support your profile, particularly alongside relevant experience, but it will not replace formal professional credentials where these are required. Whether a particular employer values it is up to them, so it is worth asking hiring managers in your target field how they would view it.
Can I study this programme alongside full-time work from South Africa, and is there a time zone or language issue?
Yes, the programme is delivered fully online and in English, so no student visa is needed to study from home. Master's programmes require 1,900 hours, postgraduate diplomas 800 hours and specialist courses 300 hours. Each student is assigned a technical tutor, fees can be paid in instalments, and employer sponsorship is possible. Ask SEIUM about the time-zone and weekly workload expectations before committing.

How you'll learn
100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetable: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which makes it possible to combine the course with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Earnix, Python (scikit-learn), Apache Kafka, Redis, Grafana, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Case studies use real per-trip pricing procedures, price A/B tests, latency monitoring and model drift. Assessment is continuous per module plus the final integrative project.
