Learning Objectives & Approach

The 1.5 day web session serves a double purpose. On the one hand, it is a bridging course designed to prepare actuaries with a more qualitative background for the quantitative parts of the CERA education. On the other hand, it is an independent refresher course for actuaries wanting to brush up their quantitative skills in the fields of financial mathematics.
This web session is not a formal part of the CERA education.
Please visit 
www.ceraglobal.org for more information on the CERA designation.

Participants

The web session is open to all persons who are interested in deepening their quantitative skills in the fields of financial mathematics and risk measurement.

Technical Requirements
Please check with your IT department if your firewall and computer settings support web session participation (the programme Zoom will be used for this online training). Please also make sure to join the web session with a stable internet connection.
