When Tobias Pfau completed ANZIIF’s Reinsurance International Study Course (RISC) in 2004, it served as a springboard for his career in Australia. 

Pfau was working for Gen Re at the time, having recently been transferred to Sydney from Cologne in Germany. He says the technical knowledge and networks he built during the course were invaluable, and now he’s helping to shape its ongoing success as a member of the RISC organising committee.

Internationally recognised

Recognised internationally for its high level outcomes, the four-day intensive reinsurance study course, consists of presentations from leading industry experts and syndicate team work, where participants apply learnings to real-life scenarios. 

“What really impressed me about the course when I was a participant was the depth of technical knowledge that I gained and the case studies brought all the theory to life,” says Pfau, who has been Manager Underwriting and Reinsurance at Unimutual since 2021. 

“A lot of courses are content-light and entertainment-heavy,” adds Pfau. “You gain so much more from this course, but it’s also a lot of fun.”
