12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
Most developers spend months translating IFRS 17 requirements into systems, only to face rework from finance or audit teams.

The situation this course is for

The challenge isn't technical skill, it's the lack of a shared framework between actuarial logic and code. Without it, implementations stall, timelines stretch, and validation cycles repeat.

Who this is for

Senior full stack developers in financial services who own or contribute to systems supporting IFRS 17 reporting, particularly those bridging compliance, actuarial, and engineering teams.

Who this is not for

Actuaries, auditors, or compliance managers without hands-on development responsibilities; entry-level coders without exposure to financial reporting systems.

What you walk away with

  • Translate IFRS 17 disclosure requirements directly into database models and API contracts
  • Reduce rework by aligning engineering work with actuarial assumptions early
  • Produce auditable system outputs that match IFRS 17 validation criteria on first pass
  • Anticipate changes in implementation guidance and adapt code structure proactively
  • Communicate technical trade-offs to non-engineering stakeholders using standards-aligned language
