Looking for some high quality learning opportunities as the CPD year-end approaches?
Did you know that the extensive and varied research programme at the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA) offers a vast range of free online resources that could help? Content spans all practice areas and covers practical industry issues to cutting-edge topics that are pushing the boundaries of actuarial science.
Access the online videos and papers through the links below:
The IFoA's flagship programme for disseminating research. All sessional meetings are now filmed and offer a convenient way to learn about the latest thinking in actuarial science and related issues.
Highlights from the last year include:
- Retirement solutions
- Consumer decisions in retirement
- The future of Solvency II in the UK
- Antimicrobial resistance as a global threat
- How the UK's relationship with Europe will evolve following the Brexit vote
There is also a substantial back-catalogue of sessional meetings from previous years, many of which are still relevant today and continue to be a popular choice for IFoA members logging CPD. Of particular note are the ever-popular Autumn and Spring Lectures, which have had topics ranging from the public understanding of risk to considerations in an ageing population.
