What a brilliant course! The IFRS 17 training at Stanmore blew me away with its energy and depth. I loved the enthusiastic delivery and the way the instructor broke down complex concepts like the risk adjustment and the fulfilment cash flows into bite‑size, relatable examples. The interactive simulations, where we built a mock insurance portfolio from scratch, gave me hands‑on practice that I could directly translate to my role as an actuary. The supporting materials – especially the detailed slide deck and the reference guide – are top‑notch. I’m now able to confidently explain IFRS 17 implications to clients and have already received praise from my manager for the insights I brought back.
The IFRS 17 course at Stanmore School of Business delivered exactly what I needed to meet my professional development goals. The modules on the General Measurement Model and the Premium Allocation Approach were explained with clear, real‑world examples, allowing me to immediately apply the concepts to our company's insurance contracts. I especially appreciated the downloadable Excel work‑books that walk you through calculating the Contractual Service Margin. The instructor’s focus on the latest regulatory updates ensured the material is current and highly relevant. Overall, the learning experience was seamless, and I now feel confident presenting IFRS 17 implementation plans to senior management.
I took the IFRS 17 class because I wanted to get a solid grip on the new reporting standards before my firm rolled them out. The course was super chill yet packed with useful stuff – like the step‑by‑step video on building a discount rate curve in Excel. The case studies were based on actual Canadian insurers, which made everything click. The handouts were clean and the quizzes really helped lock in the knowledge. I left feeling totally prepared to help my team with the transition, and I’ve already started using the templates in my daily work.
The IFRS 17 program was extremely thorough and matched my learning objectives perfectly. Each module covered a specific area – from contract classification to the measurement of insurance liabilities – with detailed explanations and illustrative examples from the Indian market. The practical assignments, such as preparing a journal entry for the Contractual Service Margin, helped me develop skills I can use immediately at my firm. The course materials were well‑organized; the PDF handbook and the supplementary reading list were especially useful for deeper study. While the pacing was a bit fast at times, the overall experience was very rewarding and has equipped me with a solid foundation for upcoming audits.
