How do I become an Actuary
In order to enter a career as an
Actuary, you need to embark on
a fairly long course of study.
In the UK, there are two institutions
through which you can qualify,
both of which currently require
that you pass 15 exams. However,
there are different ways of progressing
through these exams, and individual
circumstances and preferences
will dictate the best route for
you.
Some people do all the exams by
correspondence through either the
Institute or the Faculty
of Actuaries.
These studies are usually undertaken
simultaneously while working in
an actuarial environment. Others
like to do a full time Actuarial
degree course at university before
applying to the Faculty or Institute
of Actuaries for exemptions from
some of the professional exams.
The balance of the exams will still
have to be completed through one
of the Actuarial institutions.
Either route can take many years
and you can usually bank on a minimum
of 4 years, though often substantially
more.
Employers will often provide study
support, but the difficulty usually
lies in getting the job in the
first place, particularly with
no actuarial background to sell.
Unless you make a start, though,
you certainly won't reach the end,
so it is advisable not to delay
too long before contacting either
the Institute or the Faculty
of Actuaries who will be able to assist
you with working out the program
of study that is best for you.
See their website at www.actuaries.org.uk.
The Society of Actuaries (www.soa.org)
in the USA and the Institute of
Actuaries Australia (www.actuaries.asn.au)
also offer fellowship qualifications
acceptable throughout the world.
Other qualifications may also be
recognised in different countries,
so check this out carefully before
embarking on your studies.
Our winning formula of offering candidates and clients a quality
service has led to our rapid expansion. We presently have several
offices strategically positioned throughout the world, where we combine
local knowledge
with the benefits of extensive resources. We are committed to providing
a high quality, individualised recruitment service for every client
