The Actuary Program teaches you how to apply your technical actuarial skills to a range of problems across different business environments. Two subjects in this program are taught by the accredited universities with the other two being delivered by the Actuaries Institute in an online environment.
The Fellowship Program is offered online through the Actuaries Institute. It builds on the Foundation and Actuary Programs, and teaches students how to apply their skills and complete studies in specialist areas of practice.
