Frequently asked questions

What is the “Certified Green Finance Advocate: Sustainability Insurance & Re-Insurance” course about?

This certification focuses on how insurers and reinsurers can integrate ESG, climate-risk modelling and sustainable finance principles into underwriting, product design and portfolio management.

You’ll learn practical frameworks, case examples and tools to embed sustainability into everyday insurance decisions while staying aligned with evolving global standards.

Who is this certification best suited for?

The course is designed for professionals working in insurance and re-insurance: underwriters, risk managers, actuaries, product managers, sustainability/ESG leads and compliance teams.

It is also relevant for consultants, brokers and finance professionals who support insurers on climate and sustainability topics.

Do I need a strong finance, actuarial or climate-science background to join?

No. We assume you have basic familiarity with how insurance or finance works, but the course explains ESG, climate risk and disclosure concepts in clear, practical language.

You do not need to be an actuary, data scientist or climate modeller. The focus is on applied understanding and decision-making, not complex mathematics.

How long does it take to complete the course?

The core content is designed so you can complete it in a few evenings or over 1–2 weeks, depending on your schedule and how deeply you work through the case examples.

Because it’s self-paced, you can move faster or slower. Many learners revisit certain modules when they start applying the concepts to live projects.

Is the program self-paced, or are there live sessions?

The program is primarily self-paced, with recorded lessons, readings and tools you can access anytime.

From time to time, we may host optional live sessions or webinars. These are a bonus, but you can complete the certification fully on-demand.

How practical is the course? Will it help with my real work?

Yes. The course is designed around real insurance and re-insurance scenarios, not abstract theory. You’ll see how ESG, TCFD and IFRS S2 look in practice across underwriting, portfolio and product decisions.

You can directly adapt the templates and examples to your own organisation, clients or region.

Will I receive a certificate, and is it accredited?

Yes. Upon successfully completing all required modules, you will receive a digital certificate issued by MASSIVUE Academy as a Certified Green Finance Advocate: Sustainability Insurance & Re-Insurance.

You can add this to your résumé and LinkedIn. It is a professional certification, not a government license or formal regulatory qualification.

Does the content align with frameworks like TCFD and IFRS S2?

Yes. The course introduces key elements of TCFD and IFRS S2 and explains what they mean for insurers and reinsurers in practice.

You’ll learn how these frameworks influence risk assessment, disclosures and how you talk to boards, regulators and investors about climate-related financial risk.

Can my company sponsor or enroll a group of colleagues?

Yes. Many organisations enroll teams from underwriting, risk, sustainability and product so they can build a shared understanding of sustainable insurance.

For group enrolments or customised versions for your organisation, please contact us and we’ll share available options.

How long will I have access to the course materials?

You retain access to the course materials for an extended period after enrollment, so you can revisit modules when you are working on ESG strategy, disclosures or new product ideas.

This makes it easy to use the course as an ongoing reference as regulations and internal initiatives evolve.
