Completed from United Kingdom
I took the IFRS 17 (Advanced) course because I wanted to get a solid grip on the new standards before they rolled out in the UK. The content was spot‑on – clear explanations of the Premium Allocation Approach (PAA) and the Variable Fee Approach (VFA) with plenty of hands‑on examples. I particularly liked the interactive webinars where we walked through a full contract valuation in real time. The PDFs were easy to follow and the supplementary videos added a nice touch. It wasn’t perfect – a few sections could have used more UK‑specific examples – but overall I walked away with practical skills I can use at work, and I’m happy with the learning journey.
The IFRS 17 Advanced Global Certification course exceeded my expectations. The structured modules aligned perfectly with my goal of mastering the new insurance reporting standards for my role at a U.S. insurer. I especially appreciated the deep dive into the General Measurement Model (GMM) and the practical Excel workbooks that allowed me to calculate contract liabilities step‑by‑step. The case studies based on real‑world US insurance data helped me translate theory into actionable reporting procedures. Course materials were up‑to‑date, professionally designed, and the instructor’s expertise was evident throughout. Overall, I feel confident applying IFRS 17 in my daily work and would recommend this course to any finance professional seeking a rigorous, high‑quality learning experience.
Wow! This IFRS 17 Advanced course was exactly what I needed to boost my career in the Indian insurance sector. The instructors were energetic and broke down complex concepts like the discount rate selection and risk adjustment into bite‑size, relatable pieces. I loved the live case study where we built a full IFRS 17 reporting package for a life insurer using Power BI – I can now showcase that project in my portfolio! The course materials were top‑notch, with up‑to‑date standards and real‑world examples that mattered to us in India. I finished the course feeling empowered and totally ready to lead IFRS 17 implementation at my company.
The IFRS 17 (Advanced) certification offered by Stanmore School of Business delivered a thorough and detailed learning experience that matched my professional objectives in the Gulf region. The curriculum covered every major component – from the measurement models to the presentation and disclosure requirements – with a focus on the nuances relevant to UAE insurers. I especially benefited from the in‑depth module on the Contractual Service Margin (CSM) calculation, which included a step‑by‑step walkthrough using SAP S/4HANA data extracts. The supporting documents, such as the comprehensive slide deck and the downloadable calculation templates, were of high quality and easy to reference. While the pacing was intensive, the detailed approach ensured I left with concrete skills I can apply to upcoming IFRS 17 projects at my firm.
