Qualification Standards

The Qualification Standards have been revised to broaden their scope and strengthen the CE requirements. The revised standards took effect Jan. 1, 2008, and they apply to most of the actuaries in the United States.

The standards were developed by the Academy Committee on Qualifications and approved by the Board of Directors.
