Hands-on learning is central to our approach, with a focus on applying Excel’s functions to solve actuarial problems, including calculations related to present value and future value (CLO3). To tie it all together, we’ll engage in a comprehensive case study using Excel as a key analytical tool, offering a practical understanding of actuarial and financial business scenarios (CLO4).
