The Fortgeschrittener Zertifikatskurs Zum Internationalen Rechnungslegungsstandard 17 exceeded my expectations. The modules on contract aggregation and risk adjustment were directly aligned with the IFRS 17 implementation project I lead at my firm. I was able to apply the actuarial formulas taught in week three to our own portfolio, which reduced our valuation timeline by 20 %. The slide decks and case‑study PDFs were clear, up‑to‑date, and referenced the latest EIOPA guidance. Overall, the learning experience was seamless, and I feel fully equipped to support senior management in IFRS 17 reporting.
I took this course because I wanted to finally understand how IFRS 17 works in practice. The teaching style was relaxed but still very informative – the instructor used real‑world examples from German insurers that made the concepts click. I especially liked the hands‑on Excel workbook where we built a simple cash‑flow projection and saw how the discount rate affects the CSM. The material is solid and the video recordings were easy to follow. It definitely helped me pass my internal certification and I now feel confident discussing IFRS 17 with my colleagues.
Wow! This advanced IFRS 17 course was exactly what I needed to boost my career. The energetic tone of the sessions kept me engaged, and the practical workshops on building a liability model in R were pure gold. I could immediately use the step‑by‑step guide to set up a pilot model for my insurance client in Mumbai, which impressed senior management. The course materials – especially the downloadable cheat‑sheet on the measurement approach – are top‑notch. I'm thrilled with the knowledge I gained and can already see new project opportunities opening up.
The course offered a thorough, detailed examination of IFRS 17, covering everything from the basic principles to the intricacies of revenue allocation. I appreciated the depth of the modules on the risk adjustment methodology; the instructor walked us through a full actuarial example using SAS, which I later replicated for a South African life insurer. The provided reading list and reference articles were up‑to‑date and highly relevant. While the workload was demanding, the structured weekly assignments ensured I could consolidate my learning. Overall, the experience was rigorous and highly beneficial for my professional development.
