IFoA statement on CT9 and CB3
1 February 2018
IFoA Council took the decision to align Curriculum 2019 with the new syllabus announced by the IAA in October 2017.
We have consulted widely on this and there has been significant support for this alignment as it provides qualifiers with the confidence that their qualifications are internationally benchmarked and continue to be transferrable across the globe. The decision by the IAA required us to complete a final review of the IFoA’s new curriculum late in 2017 to ensure our full compliance.

Important changes to CT9/CB3 Business Awareness for 2018
28 December 2017
The IFoA is aligning its new curriculum to the agreed International Actuarial Association standard.
Owing to syllabus changes approved by the International Actuarial Association (IAA) in October 2017, it is necessary to consider the relevance of the Business Awareness module, CT9, to the IFoA’s new syllabus. This will consequently impact the CB3 exam, which is due to replace CT9 in the new curriculum.
We have therefore decided to suspend all current and future CT9 examinations.
We hope to communicate the final decision on CT9 to you by the end of January 2018.
IFoA statement on exam pass list website issues
8 December 2017
Our sincere apologies for the unacceptable issues encountered in accessing pass lists on IFoA’s website. Although our team worked with the hosting provider through the evening to try to alleviate the issues, this took considerably longer than it should have. All our web servers had been significantly upgraded and we were assured that we had significantly more resources than required. A full review will be undertaken and we will do our best to ensure that this is not repeated for the next batch of results later in the month.
