Underwriting Essentials

This course focuses on the essential skills required of an entry-level underwriter. Students begin with an overview of an underwriter's role as an investor of shareholder capital on behalf of an insurer and discuss the process of accepting and rejecting risk within parameters set by the insurer and imposed by the external environment. Hard skills, soft skills, and underwriting temperament are profiled and specifically applied in the analysis of individual property, automobile, and liability risks.
