42、 Information for Candidates and Members Education Redesign In August 2003, the Working Groups for the Education Redesign project, with the supportand endorsement of the Board of Governors published its recommendations for the education and examination process of the Society of Actuaries. That report

43、 is available at /eande/report_membership03.pdf). Work on developing a final implementation plan ensued along with a commentary period during which, you, our candidates and members, submitted questions and comments. This update describes the final design, conversion mapping and impl

44、ementation plans. A web cast "Town Hall" session to discuss the design and conversion plan, is being prepared for the first quarter of 2004. Please be sure to watch your email boxes and our web site, for information as it becomes available. Associateship Requirements Under the

45、redesign plan, the candidate is required to complete the Preliminary Education requirements, the Fundamentals of Actuarial Practice (FAP) Course, and the Associateship Professionalism Course (APC) for the ASA designation. The Preliminary Education requirements and the FAP Course may be attempted con

46、currently. The Preliminary Education Component will consist of (i) pre-requisites, (ii) subjects to be validated by educational experience, and (iii) four examinations. Pre-requisites are topics that will assist candidates in their exam progress and work life but will not be directly tested or valid

47、ated:   Calculus   Linear Algebra   Introductory Accounting   Business Law   Mathematical Statistics Validated by Educational Experience (VEE) Subjects are subjects for which candidates will demonstrate knowledge by submitting transcripts and course

48、descriptions from formal courses. Submissions will be reviewed to determine whether they meet the stated criteria. Economics. The requirement will be two semesters, one each of introductory microeconomics and macroeconomics. A one-semester survey course will not qualify. Corporate Finance. The requi

49、rement will typically be met by a course with an introductory corporate finance course as a prerequisite. Applied Statistical Methods. The course must cover both time series and regression (or a candidate may submit two courses). Detailed learning objectives for the three VEE subjects will be includ

50、ed in the final syllabus publication, scheduled for Summer 2004. Candidates will be able to compare those learning objectives to the descriptions of the courses they will submit under this plan. VEE submissions will be accepted starting on January 1, 2005. Submission procedures will be published pri

51、or to that date. There are three mechanisms by which VEE can be accomplished: 1. Completion, with a pre-set grade, of one or more courses offered by a recognized college or university and approved by the sponsoring organizations. a. Candidates or faculty members would submit a course or courses for

52、consideration. b. Generally, the only submission required for course approval will be the entry in the catalog, including pre-requisites and a description of the course. At its discretion, the committee making the determination may request additional information. c. To earn validation for an approve

53、d course, a candidate must receive a grade of B- or better. If the course is repeated, the highest grade earned can be used. If the institution does not use letter grading, the institution will be consulted to determine an appropriate translation. 2. Achieving a pre-set score on a standardized exami

54、nation, as determined by the sponsoring organizations. a. Specified score minimums on the Advanced Placement (AP) tests and College Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests for micro and macroeconomics will be accepted as VEE credit for economics. b. The committee responsible for VEE implementation wi

55、ll determine which other examinations qualify and the score required for credit. Additional research will be done regarding options such as the CFA exams. c. Two of the actuarial exams for which specific course credit was not received during the 2000 conversion can satisfy VEE, as follows: i. Unused

56、 PD credits earned from passing the pre-2000 Course 120 (Applied Statistical Methods) examination may be used for validation of Applied Statistics. ii. Unused PD credits earned from passing the pre-2000 Course 220 (Introduction to Asset Management and Corporate Finance) may be used for validation of

57、 Corporate Finance and Economics. Additional details on these two options are included under the conversion mapping section of this document. 3. Completion of educational experiences as approved by the sponsoring organizations. The CAS or SOA may choose to offer educational experience in a particula

58、r subject. Other vendors of educational programs may provide eligible educational experiences. By definition, a CAS or SOA experience would be accepted. All other options would need to be approved by the committee responsible for VEE. Preliminary Education Examinations   Exam P, Probabilit

59、y: Probability and supporting calculus; validated by a three-hour examination.   Exam MF, Mathematics of Finance: Theory of interest and introduction to financial economics; validated by a two-hour examination.   Exam M, Models for Quantifying Risk: Life contingencies, frequency

60、models and aggregate loss models; validated by a four-hour examination.   Exam C, Construction and Evaluation of Risk Models: Fitting parametric and nonparametric models and credibility; validated by a four hour-examination. Fundamentals of Actuarial Practice The e-Learning component of AS

61、A level education (previously referred to as the ASA Course) has an official new name - Fundamentals of Actuarial Practice (FAP) Course. As introduced in the August 2003 report, the module topics will be presented in the context of a control cycle. Module 1, Role of the Professional Actuary: Provide

62、 the basic framework for actuarial work and functions using a control cycle as a framework. Module 2, Core External Forces: Provide an understanding of how core external forces, outside of the actuary's sphere, integrate into actuarial work. Module 3, Typical Actuarial Problems: Provide an intro

63、duction to concepts within the context of common actuarial problems and assignments. Module 4, Solutions to Selected Actuarial Problems: Demonstrate how a complete control cycle is applied, through selected examples and sample solutions. Module 5, Design and Pricing of an Actuarial Solution: Introdu

64、ce and define common models for each area of practice. Module 6, Selection of an Actuarial Design and Model: Given a problem, find a solution by going through the entire process to select a model. Module 7, Selection of Initial Assumptions: Introduce the process and considerations in selecting assum

65、ptions as a component of finalizing the design solution and moving toward monitoring results. Module 8, Monitoring Experience - Model and Assumptions: Establish the link between designing the solution and monitoring the results via techniques for monitoring experience. Validation Plan for Fundamenta

66、ls of Actuarial Practice 1. To maintain standards, validation (including interactions embedded in the content, end-of-module tests and end-of-module exercises) will occur throughout the course. 2. Candidates will also be formally evaluated via computerized, multiple-choice examinations. The first ex

67、amination will cover content in Modules 1-5 and the second examination will cover content in Modules 6-8. These exams will be administered securely and frequently, with a potential to evolve to "on demand" over time. Associateship Professionalism Course (APC) The APC objectives are unchanged from the current description. Fellowship Requirements For the FSA designation, the candidate would be required to complete all of the ASA requirements plus the following additional educational elements: 1. Two pr
