Study guide: Exam APC

The online e-Learning module of the Society of Actuaries' Associateship Professionalism Course (APC), the final requirement for the ASA designation and CERA credential. In the Virtual APC, candidates complete the module on their own (estimated 3–4 hours) within approximately 14 days, before a virtual case discussion; the SOA says the module covers the Code of Professional Conduct, Standards of Practice, ethics and legal liability.

On the syllabus

• Exam APC — the SOA publishes no reading list; the course's material is its e-Learning module and the case studies discussed in the session

Contents unavailable The module is available only to candidates scheduled for an APC session, so its content and titles could not be read. This page records the SOA's description of the module from its APC pages.
