  • Support participants in their preparations for the ST9 exam including insights into the exam experience itself for those who have never taken a UK exam.
  • Cover ERM material not adequately addressed in the ST9 exam, particularly material that is important for applications of ERM to casualty (general) insurance situations.

CERA Application

After meeting all CAS CERA requirements, a person must submit a signed CERA application to the CAS to obtain the designation.

The application may also be used to do the following:

  • Transfer one's CERA designation from another organization to the CAS.
  • Members of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries who have completed the CAS requirements for CERA may request that the CERA designation be granted through the CIA rather than the CAS.
  • Those who completed the Society of Actuaries requirements for CERA may request that the CERA designation be granted through the CAS rather than the SOA.

Experienced Practitioner's Pathway

In addition to the exam/seminar pathway, the CAS has developed a second path, called the Experienced Practitioners Pathway (EPP), that will allow the CAS to award the CERA designation to existing members who are leading practitioners and who are considered, by virtue of their experience, to have demonstrated a level of knowledge and understanding of ERM comparable to that achieved by other designees. The CAS has announced details of the program and is accepting applications through July 31, 2012.
