Asia-Pacific Virtual AIR Institute CEEM Programme Frequently Asked Questions

What is the format of the Asia-Pacific CEEM Programme?

All sessions for the Asia-Pacific CEEM programme are recorded and are available on demand to allow attendees more flexibility. These sessions will be grouped into two course tracks: one covering peril models; the other covering the use of AIR software. Attendees should plan to view all the recorded content within the programme time frame. There will be live sessions each week to check in with attendees, answer questions, and discuss the content further. The second week will also contain optional “Office Hours”-style sessions to ask questions of AIR experts for a deeper dive into each subject within the programme to help review for the CEEM exams. Self-directed and on-demand software exercises will be made available for attendees on the first day and must also be completed prior to taking the CEEM exams either on the Friday of the second week or, barring that, within two years after the session.

Will the course content be any different than in-person programmes?

The content is very similar to past programmes, covering the same core concepts: exposure data, financial modelling, interpreting results, deep dives on Touchstone® and Touchstone Re™, and explorations of key models. The only change is the format in which the content is delivered. For this fully virtual programme, all sessions and exercises will be in an on-demand format for the attendee to complete as their schedule allows.

Can I complete all the course work within one week if I put in the requisite effort?

Yes. Attendees are expected to attend the live check-in sessions throughout the programme but may complete the course material at their own pace. The only item that cannot be completed in the first week is the exam itself, which will remain scheduled for the Friday of the second week.

How much does the Asia-Pacific virtual programme cost?

The tuition for the virtual CEEM is $4,500, a reduction from the $5,000 standard price of the in-person programme.

Can I still earn the CEEM credential from the virtual programme?

Yes. Attendees who complete the programme will have the opportunity to sit for both the Core and Elective exams and earn the CEEM designation. There will be an exam sitting held virtually on the Friday of the second week of the programme; however, the exam can also be taken later within the next two years.
