An ACIA designation demonstrates that you have the knowledge and skills outlined in our syllabus to identify, evaluate and analyze risk – and that you belong to the premier community of actuarial professionals in Canada.
No matter which pathway applies to you, there are several steps to becoming an ACIA – and applying is the final one. Here is some practical information to help you along the way.
A core requirement intended to bridge from accredited education or education obtained via other actuarial organizations to the work environment. It is administered online via the CIA Learning Management System.
A six-hour, online open-book exam that assesses knowledge acquired from a recognized university degree, as well as from the ACIA modules, focusing on application and communication.
During a limited transitional period, a combination of University Accreditation Program credits and education and examinations of other actuarial organizations are accepted in lieu of some ACIA requirements.
Delivered through both an e-learning module and a one-day virtual event, it provides candidates with a solid grounding in professionalism concepts.
