“The new pathways will let us get into new realms of business where any type of quantitative analysis is being done.”
“The changes that are coming through to the education system are much more inclusive than the one single path we had before.”
“Ultimately, when actuaries work together, we can achieve better outcomes and solve some of the more challenging issues facing Canadians.”
We assess universities to ensure they have the people, structure, and resources to deliver the fundamentals of actuarial education.
