Examiners required - for new Certified Actuarial Analyst qualification [PDR*] – Expression of Interest
The Chair of the Exam Board and the Director of Education will be seeking to appoint a number of Fellows to become examiners of the new Certified Actuarial Analyst qualification.
Requirements: To offer support you must be a Fellow of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries. If you have had experience in examining actuarial subjects and in particular computer based assessment involving multiple choice questions then this would be an advantage although full training will be provided. You will also be required to input into the annual syllabus review. Enthusiasm and a natural understanding of the importance of deadlines is vital.
Tenure and time commitment: There will be a significant training period at the start of the exam development and it is anticipated that the time commitment will be equivalent to 3 weeks a year spread out depending on when the syllabus and exam questions have to be reviewed. It is hoped that each examiner will be prepared to undertake this task for a period of three years to allow continuity.
To offer support: If you feel you have the necessary experience/commitment and would like to offer your support and find out more, please contact Debbie Atkins, Head of Volunteer Engagement. When contacting Debbie, please provide a brief outline of your relevant experience and a note of your ARN. Debbie will pass all expressions of interest to the Registrar.
* This opportunity is one of our Professional Responsibility and Development [PDR] roles: In addition to the traditional volunteer roles and tasks which our members undertake each year, there are also a number of other opportunities whereby members can offer to provide "paid" support for a fixed service. These opportunities are not by definition, "volunteering" roles. However, we recognise that the fee paid is nominal and we, as a profession, are therefore extremely grateful to, and reliant upon, those members who provide this service to enhance and develop our profession. We think of this as being part of "Professional Development and Responsibility" [PDR].
