Course Overview

This comprehensive training course provides a practical and advanced framework for casualty insurance underwriting and risk assessment. It focuses on identifying liability exposures, evaluating insured risks, applying underwriting principles, structuring appropriate coverage, and making informed underwriting decisions. The programme examines key casualty insurance risks across commercial and corporate environments, including general liability, employers’ liability, professional liability, product liability, public liability, and other third-party exposures. Participants will explore how business activities, contractual obligations, operational processes, claims history, and legal considerations influence casualty risk. Particular attention is given to risk selection, exposure assessment, policy conditions, limits, deductibles, exclusions, pricing considerations, and risk mitigation. Participants will also examine how underwriting decisions can be supported by claims data, loss experience, risk surveys, financial information, and other relevant sources. Through practical case studies, scenarios, and workshops, participants will develop the ability to assess casualty risks systematically, identify potential loss drivers, formulate underwriting recommendations, and contribute to stronger portfolio quality, risk control, and sustainable underwriting performance.
