Triangulation Anyone?

Last week I took my second course in the Certified Risk Manager series, Risk Analysis. I remember the happy day my sophomore year of college when I took the last math class I needed to take. The happiest day of my college life. Little did I know over 20 years later, I'd be sitting in a class learning triangulation, standard deviation, and the coefficient of determination!

Risk Analysis has an awful lot of calculations, probability, and statistics. If it weren't for taking the test, I may have enjoyed it more! After 20 years in the industry, I finally learned where rates are derived from..actually a very interesting process.

I encourage any of you in the insurance business to take a CRM or ARM class. Even if you don't want the designation, there is a lot to learn about how risks are analyzed and priced. I just hope I passed the test so I don't have to sit through it again!
