I signed up for the advanced IFRS 17 course to brush up on the latest standards before our firm’s rollout. It was a solid choice – the lessons were concise and the examples felt very practical, like the walkthrough of the Premium Allocation Approach using Excel. I walked away with a handy checklist for data‑quality checks and a better grasp of how to communicate the impact of discount rates to actuaries. The material was up‑to‑date and the tutor was responsive to questions. All in all, a useful programme that helped me hit my learning targets, even if I wish there were a few more live Q&A sessions.
The Executive‑Entwicklungsprogramm Im Internationalen Rechnungslegungsstandard 17 (Advanced) exceeded my expectations. The curriculum was perfectly aligned with my goal to lead our insurer’s IFRS 17 transition. I especially appreciated the deep‑dive sessions on the Contractual Service Margin, which gave me the confidence to build a full‑stack cash‑flow model for our new life‑insurance products. The case studies, drawn from real‑world European insurers, were highly relevant and the downloadable templates saved weeks of work. Overall, the course materials were top‑notch, and the interactive webinars made the learning experience both rigorous and engaging. I can now present IFRS 17 implications to senior management with clear, data‑driven insights.
Wow! This course was a game‑changer for my career. I wanted to master IFRS 17 so I could lead my team’s implementation at a large general insurer in India. The modules on contract grouping and the measurement of the liability for remaining coverage were explained with crystal‑clear examples – I even built a prototype model in R during the hands‑on lab! The provided slide deck and reference guide are now my go‑to resources when I train junior analysts. The blend of theory and real‑world practice made the whole experience exciting and highly rewarding. I’m now confidently presenting IFRS 17 updates to our board.
The advanced IFRS 17 programme delivered a thorough and detailed exploration of the standard, which matched my objective of overseeing the regional rollout for our reinsurance subsidiary. I particularly valued the in‑depth coverage of the Variable Fee Approach, including step‑by‑step calculations of the fee‑related earnings. The course materials – especially the annotated IFRS 17 handbook and the Excel macro library – were of excellent quality and have become essential tools in my daily work. While the pace was intense, the comprehensive case study on a multi‑currency portfolio helped me understand the nuances of foreign‑exchange risk under IFRS 17. Overall, a highly professional learning experience that equipped me with actionable skills.
