Radity launches Insurtech Academy for insurance software teams

Radity has introduced Insurtech Academy and its first course, Insurance Fundamentals for Engineers, to help insurers, MGAs and technology partners bring engineers up to speed faster. The move targets a persistent hiring and onboarding problem in insurance, where domain knowledge can make developers more productive and AI-assisted work more reliable.

Why it matters: - Insurance teams often need engineers who understand both software and the business rules behind policies, billing and coverage. - Radity is aiming to cut onboarding time from months to about a week of focused learning, which could help teams contribute faster and spend less time re-explaining basics. - The launch comes as technology jobs remain among the hardest roles for U.S. insurance carriers to fill, based on the Jacobson Group and Aon’s Q3 2026 Insurance Labor Market Study.

What happened: - Radity launched Insurtech Academy in Dallas with its first course, Insurance Fundamentals for Engineers. - The course is self-paced and built for insurance companies, managing general agents and their technology partners. - The program is designed for both new hires and existing engineers moving into insurance projects.

The details: - The course focuses on insurance terminology, business processes and rules that engineers need before they can work independently. - Radity says the training is meant to shorten onboarding, reduce time spent explaining fundamentals and help engineers contribute earlier to delivery. - The academy is led by Tom Capp, who has more than 30 years of insurance experience. - Master class experts from multiple insurance companies will teach special sessions on specific topics. - Lessons are short videos designed for quick learning, and new videos will be added regularly. - Course information is available at the Insurtech Academy website.

Between the lines: - Radity is positioning domain knowledge as a multiplier for AI-assisted development, not just a nice-to-have skill. - CEO Ozgur Aksakal said engineers still need to know what to ask and how to judge AI-generated results in insurance, where a policy change can affect both coverage and billing. - A 2025 study of 21 developers experienced in using AI found domain knowledge, including business knowledge, was necessary for evaluating AI-generated work and steering it toward the intended result.

What's next: - Radity plans to keep adding new videos to the academy over time. - Employers are expected to use the course as a baseline, then layer in training on their own products, systems and procedures. - The company is targeting continued use by insurers, MGAs and partners that need faster engineer ramp-up.

The bottom line: - Radity is turning insurance know-how into a formal training product for engineers, betting that faster domain fluency will improve productivity, hiring outcomes and AI use in the industry.
