Who is this course for?




I know how it feels to be stuck as a beginner or intermediate actuary. It can be difficult to stand out in such a crowded job market. You may have the qualifications, but without the right experience or knowledge, it can be tough to make your name in the life insurance industry. 
  

In fact, I wasn't much different from you when I moved to the US back in 2011. Since I didn't have much US-based experience, skills, and knowledge, landing an actuarial job seemed like a pipe dream. 
 

After facing a few rejections, I wasn't sure if I would be easily able to get a job here. I would be lying If I say that it was easy to break into this intimidating industry and scale up. 
 

Not only is it frustrating to get stuck in a job that doesn't utilize your full potential, but it can also limit your earning potential and career advancement opportunities. You may be passed over for promotions or miss out on the chance to work on high-profile projects.
 
After making gazillion mistakes, years of lessons learned the hard way and acquiring the right knowledge plus skills to be a part of the actuarial community, I was able to not only land a job, but also get promoted to a higher position. 
  

With 15 years of experience in the actuarial field, starting my journey in 2008 and becoming a fellow of the Society of Actuaries in 2014, I today have over a decade of consulting, insurance, audit & software experience.

Reaching this level of expertise took a great deal of effort, and time.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Who is the primary audience for this course?

    The primary audience for this course are actuarial students, entry level actuaries and intermediate actuaries with 1 to 4 years of experience. However I believe Associates and Fellows will find certain modules to be beneficial, especially where they do not have prior experience on, and they can claim CPD credits for those.

  • Are spreadsheets available to be downloaded with the course for free?

    Yes. Many modules such as LDTI, PBR, IFRS17, Profit Measures, Experience Studies, Reinsurance etc. have spreadsheets included with them for download.

  • Is there an expiration date for the course?

    No. The course will be available for lifetime.

  • If I’m an Associate or Fellow, can I claim CPD credits for the time spent on this course?

    Under the US Qualification Standard (USQS) or the SOA CPD Requirement, this would be self-study credit (called “other” credit in the USQS.). The amount of credit would be based on how long it took someone to complete the course. CPD is supposed to be earned for something that broadens or expands actuary’s knowledge. For example if a valuation actuary attends the pricing lesson and it broadens their pricing knowledge, they’ll have to make sure they only claim the time spent on the pricing course.

  • I have questions related to the online course. How can I reach out?

    If you have any questions related to purchasing the course, or any other issues in general related to the website, please reach out to [email protected]

  • Are there any pre-requisites for the course?

    Although there are no pre-requisites per se, the course expects the attendee has the basic level understanding of actuarial science, and has already either started pursuing the actuarial profession or started taking the exams. Fresh college graduates with no prior actuarial interest will find some lessons to be technical.
