Professionalism Course
The Professionalism Course provides members with an opportunity to reflect on what it means to be a professional. The Course aims to facilitate knowledge of the obligations, risks and legal responsibilities of being a member of the actuarial profession.
It focuses on the Institute's Code of Professional Conduct and its practical applications, the ethical requirements of being an actuary and the dilemmas likely to be faced in practice. The two day residential course also seeks to strengthen the professional network of those attending.
