Reimagine underwriting. Build real capability.
The Underwriting DNA Insurance Simulation, delivered by ANZIIF in partnership with global leaders Unicorn Simulations, is a high-impact virtual learning experience designed to accelerate underwriting capability through action, not theory.
Across two immersive half-days, you’ll work in teams to manage a portfolio and respond to market conditions. You'll balance profitability, risk appetite and customer outcomes, just as you would in the real world.
