Expert training and education programs to help you better understand catastrophe models
The quantity and scale of catastrophic events around the world is growing and changing. This creates a global demand for people who can understand and utilize catastrophe models. The mission of the Certified Extreme Event Modeler™ (CEEM) Program is to be a center of excellence for catastrophe risk management training and education.
CEEM Program
This 5-day intensive program for catastrophe modelers gives you insight into the science behind natural catastrophes and a behind-the-scenes look at how catastrophe models are developed and validated. We give you hands-on training in our software and how it can be used to explore the assumptions underlying the models, understand uncertainty, and interpret model results. After completing the program requirements, you become a Certified Extreme Event Modeler.
CEEM Program
CEEM is available in person and virtually
The virtual program consists of everything the in-person program offers but can be taken remotely. With shorter live sessions and more on-demand material, the Virtual program can be adapted to your remote schedule. After completing the program requirements, you become a Certified Extreme Event Modeler.
