Acttuary was built to help people understand the actuarial profession and prepare for getting into it.
There is plenty of support available once you begin the professional exams. The questions before that are different: what actuaries actually do, which practice area suits you, what employers look for, which technical skills are useful and how to prepare for each stage of an application.
Acttuary brings those things together in one place through courses, interactive technical exercises, free tools, application guidance and one-to-one support.
Acttuary is built by actuaries working in the UK profession. The team includes a Fellow of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (FIA), and our paid CV reviews are completed and checked by a qualified actuary (FIA).
We have also been involved in actuarial recruitment, so the application guidance combines experience of applying for these roles with experience from the hiring side.
If you are still deciding whether actuarial work is right for you, start with the free guides and practice-area content. If you are already applying, the Become an Actuary course and grad-scheme tracker are good places to start.
Our principles
What we believe
- Actuarial, not genericEverything is written specifically for people exploring or applying for actuarial careers in the UK.
- Learn by doingTechnical lessons include worked examples, questions and interactive Excel, Python, R and SQL exercises so you can practise the skills rather than only read about them.
- Use evidence where it mattersSalary ranges, application dates and other changing market information are dated and linked to their sources. We do not guarantee job offers or present individual outcomes as typical.
Acttuary is independent and not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA) or any employer named on this site. See pricing.
