Xceedance Achieves CII Accreditation for Catastrophe Risk Modelling Training
Xceedance has received accreditation from the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) for its catastrophe risk modelling training programme, XCERA. This recognition confirms that XCERA meets the CII’s rigorous standards for technical education in insurance and financial services.
The XCERA programme is specifically designed to build practical skills in catastrophe modelling and exposure management. With this accreditation, certification under the programme is now recognised globally, potentially supporting professional mobility and career progression across international markets. This global recognition is particularly significant as the insurance industry faces growing exposure to natural catastrophe risks driven by climate change.
The accreditation aligns with Xceedance’s broader strategy to develop technical talent within the insurance sector and strengthen its position as a provider of structured training in risk analytics and catastrophe modelling. Monalisa Samal, Executive Vice President and Head of Global Property Lines, stated that the accreditation reflects the organisation’s focus on specialist education in catastrophe risk. Parul Varghese, Vice President and Head of Global Learning and Organisational Development, added that the programme is part of ongoing efforts to invest in workforce development and lifelong learning.
This achievement comes as Xceedance continues to expand its operational capabilities and technology offerings. Recent initiatives include the appointment of Subramanian Sankaran as Global Chief Operating Officer, the acquisition of CIS Claim Services, and strategic investments in technology, including partnerships with AI companies.
The CII accreditation enhances Xceedance’s XCERA programme by providing global recognition, thereby supporting professionals in catastrophe modelling and exposure management in their career progression across international markets.
