Overview

Insurance only makes sense if you understand why it exists. This course lays the foundation for everything that follows in underwriting, accounting, regulation, and risk management.

You will learn how insurance solves real economic problems, how risk is transferred and pooled, and why premiums, losses, and underwriting discipline matter.

This is the starting point for anyone new to insurance, or anyone who works in insurance but never got the big-picture explanation.

Who this course is for

New insurance accountants, analysts, and finance professionals
IT, audit, actuarial, or operations professionals working with insurance data
Professionals transitioning into insurance from another industry
Anyone who wants a clear, plain-English understanding of how insurance works.

This course gives you the mental model you will use throughout the entire curriculum.
