Course Overview

This professional training course provides a comprehensive and practical framework for applying analytics to insurance pricing decisions. It focuses on how insurers can use data, statistical analysis, risk characteristics, claims experience, and portfolio information to develop technically sound, commercially competitive, and risk-appropriate pricing strategies. The course examines the complete insurance pricing analytics process, from data preparation and portfolio segmentation to risk classification, claims analysis, pricing variables, loss cost estimation, rate adequacy, profitability analysis, and monitoring. Participants will learn how to transform historical and current insurance data into meaningful insights that support more accurate pricing decisions.

Participants will explore how analytical techniques can identify patterns in frequency, severity, loss ratios, exposure, retention, and profitability, while supporting pricing decisions across different customer segments, products, channels, and territories. The course also addresses pricing governance, model validation, monitoring, data quality, assumptions, scenario analysis, and responsible use of analytical models. Participants will develop practical approaches for improving pricing accuracy while maintaining competitiveness, profitability, customer value, and effective risk management.
