MatBlas

Invaluable for the “modern” underwriting world!

Not for the faint-hearted, not for the beginner. However provides invaluable actuarial background to already acquired knowledge. Interactive Q&A throughout. Recommended.

A course well delivered. Very interactive case studies. Highly recommended for underwriting managers and senior underwriters.

Excellent course which should be a must for all senior underwriters.

Very interesting and Ana gave us much food for thought.

Felt the course content was relevant and well put together. Very useful 2 day course.

The course was very useful – as a refresher and also to get more detailed info with regard to the pricing analysis.

I enjoyed the course a great deal and would recommend it to anyone operating in the London Market who would like in depth insight into the techniques used by actuaries today.

Very useful to understand the concepts even though I did not have any previous background.

Improved understanding of actuarial techniques. However, course content steamed a bit for five days, but spacing out over five weeks useful.

This course is highly recommended for graduates with a numerate degree who wish to pursue a career in insurance but do not necessarily wish to take the actuarial examinations. I started this course during my second week of work in the industry. Even though all concepts both actuarial and insurance were new to me, I was able to understand the lectures, follow the case studies and do the homework.

The content and presentation of this course was excellent. It was one of the best courses I have attended in years.

Suddenly many concepts I have come across in my 13 years of insurance became clear. I especially found the capital modelling extremely useful – even though my actuarial colleagues tried to explain some of the concepts to me, I did not have the full picture.

Very informative course. Very relevant to underwriting management and overall philosophy.

I found this course very helpful for my day to day life as an underwriter and also more infrequent management reports.

Very useful. A brilliant introduction.

Very interactive, excellent knowledge from the presenter and easy to follow. She answered all our questions and the whole course was very informative and relevant.

It exceeded my expectations in simplifying what I thought was a complicated topic.

Very useful and clearly presented. Sympathetic to the needs to underwriters.

The teacher (Ana) was very knowledgeable and good.

Well put together course, good material.

Thank you very much, will recommend to colleagues.

Interesting course. Well presented, good material and relevant to the day to day job undertaken. Also good to brush up on excel skills.

Excellent balance of theory and practical applications that helps the non-actuary understand the concepts.

A really practical course which starts with the theory but spends most of the time implementing and learning “how to do it”. Excellent!.

Fabulous course showing practical use of fitting distributions.

Really practical – not like many other actuarial based training. You will really get down to the nitty gritty.

I highly appreciate the contents and the way to explain clearly some sophisticated models. I wish MatBlas a very successful year.

An excellent, relevant course, delivered at just the right pace. Plenty of examples and the methods were applied to realistic data sets. I would recommend this course to any actuaries or statisticians working in pricing.

Ana is an experienced industry practitioner and this shows in the way she presents this course. Forget the academic chaff; this is the industry practitioner’s guide to pricing. I strongly recommend it.
