Structure
100 concepts, mastered
The InTime Academy curriculum is organized around 100 core concepts that a Guidewire professional must know to be effective on day one. Each concept is taught through instruction, demonstrated in context, and practiced in hands-on lab environments.
PolicyCenter
Policy lifecycle management from submission through issuance and renewal. Learn product model configuration, underwriting rules, rating algorithms, LOB setup, and custom entity development.
ClaimCenter
Claims processing from FNOL through settlement. Workflow configuration, reserve management, coverage verification, litigation tracking, and integration with external vendor systems.
BillingCenter
Premium billing, payment processing, and accounts receivable. Invoice generation, payment plans, commission calculations, delinquency workflows, and disbursement handling.
Integration & Development
Gosu programming, REST and SOAP API development, messaging frameworks, plugin architecture, batch processing, and external system connectivity patterns used across all three centers.
Configuration & Deployment
Guidewire Studio, product model configuration, entity management, typelists, PCF pages, Guidewire Cloud Platform deployment, and environment management practices.
Total: 100 concepts across all five modules. Each concept includes lecture, demonstration, and hands-on lab practice.
