Program Overview: What is General Insurance Underwriting and Pricing Corporate Training?
General Insurance Underwriting & Pricing is a 32-hour program for underwriters, pricing analysts, and product teams in general insurance. It covers the full underwriting cycle: risk identification and hazard analysis, risk selection and classification, policy wordings and exclusions, pricing fundamentals and rating factors, premium computation, reinsurance, and portfolio monitoring. Participants learn the judgement and the mathematics behind profitable portfolios.
Training runs across eight modules over 32 hours with guided labs and instructor coaching throughout. Participants assess real risk cases, classify proposals, draft policy terms and conditions, compute premiums using rating models, and analyse loss ratios. Instructors who have underwritten and priced live books review each decision and show where the numbers break. The program closes with the Capstone: End-to-End Underwriting & Pricing Case, a complete book from proposal to premium.
Underwriting done on gut feel and pricing done on spreadsheets inherited from someone else produce the same result: loss ratios that drift and portfolios nobody understands. Teams approve risks they cannot price and price risks they do not understand. This program builds disciplined underwriting judgement and pricing rigour, so every risk taken is a risk the book can carry.
The capstone is an end-to-end case: the team underwrites a set of proposals, classifies the risks, drafts the wordings, computes the premiums, and presents the resulting portfolio with its projected loss ratio. Reviewers stress-test every assumption, and the team leaves with a priced book they can defend line by line.
Underwriting teams practice proposal assessment, hazard analysis, and decision frameworks across motor, health, property, liability, and marine lines. Pricing teams work through rating factors, loss costs, expense loading, and portfolio rate adequacy with instructor-reviewed exercises. Your team also learns how reinsurance structures and loss-ratio monitoring protect the book, so pricing and underwriting decisions stay aligned. Every module includes a guided lab, and the capstone brings it together: a full end-to-end case from proposal to defended quote.

Teams that Benefit from this General Insurance Underwriting and Pricing Group Training
This group training is built for underwriting, actuarial, pricing, broking, and claims teams who own general insurance risk decisions. Cohorts work in small groups on proposal and pricing cases from their own lines of business, and content adapts to each team's role and experience so every cohort practices the workflows it owns.

Each cohort works with cases from its own lines of business, so practice stays relevant to the risks your team underwrites every day.

Connect Insurance Risk Selection With Policy Terms and Defensible Pricing
Edstellar develops underwriting and pricing judgment through a connected general-insurance case. Participants gather risk information, assess proposals, and interpret coverage before calculating technical premiums and reviewing portfolio results. The final quote is examined alongside its risk rationale, terms, and rating assumptions, testing whether the underwriting decision and price tell a consistent story.
- Step 01
Consult
We explore gaps in proposal assessment, coverage interpretation, and premium calculations, considering the underwriting, pricing, broking, and claims responsibilities represented in the cohort.
- Step 02
Plan
Insurance foundations and hazard analysis lead into selection decisions, policy wording, loss-cost pricing, rating models, and portfolio review before the complete case.
- Step 03
Align
We align underwriting and pricing expertise with the cohort's lines of business, building numerical foundations without assuming previous actuarial training or formal pricing experience.
- Step 04
Customize
Fictional proposal packs, claims scenarios, and loss-cost data reflect relevant insurance products, supporting risk and price comparisons without using identifiable policyholder information.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants classify proposals, calculate technical premiums, and test rating scenarios, receiving feedback on evidence gathering, coverage interpretation, loading assumptions, and portfolio implications.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the defended quote for supported risk selection, coherent coverage terms, transparent premium calculations, and a clear explanation of pricing and portfolio trade-offs.
