Further training

Always up to date

SAA attaches great importance to being up to date. Continuing Professional Development ensures that all members are always up to date. The aim is to safeguard the quality and reputation of the profession and to consciously involve members in the activities of the SAA.

CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AT THE SAA

Continuing Professional Development (CPD)

With the development of its Continuing Professional Development (CPD) program, the SAA is complying with the recommendations of international actuarial associations and ensuring the reputation of its members vis-à-vis representatives of other national organizations in the actuarial field.

The overarching goal of the CPD program is to maintain and enhance the quality and reputation of the actuarial profession in the Swiss financial center and beyond. In addition, the CPD program offers the opportunity to involve SAA members more closely in the activities of the organization.

The CPD has been mandatory for all members of the Actuary Section SAA since January 1, 2012. Other European actuarial associations have already introduced such a concept or are about to do so.

Learning with SAA

Here you will find a compact overview of current courses, programs, and events.

The European Actuarial Academy (EAA) was founded on 29 August, 2005, by the Actuarial Associations of Germany, Switzerland, Austria and the Netherlands. These four associations are also the EAA stakeholders. Its foundation was a response to the increased demand from Central and Eastern European countries for Actuary professionalisation. EAA strives to become the knowledge centre of European Actuary education.

The EAA-Seminars are offered throughout Europe. We work on actuarial hot topics, especially new techniques and developments. Our content and aims are concentrated on input from (actuarial) associations and workfields. Our lecturers are experienced and internationally focused. Every seminar includes hands-on workshops, transfer to daily practice and social programme (eg. dinner or sightseeing). Every event is a chance to enlarge your professional network. Gain current knowledge and meet your colleagues from abroad!

The qx-Club Zurich sees itself as a forum for personal encounters and discussions for actuaries in the Zurich area. At the biannual meetings, current actuarial topics from the following areas are discussed:

Topics relating to the DAV (e.g., results from DAV working groups)
Topics that are transnational (e.g., international product comparisons)
Topics that are relevant to multinational groups (e.g., group solvency)

The qx-Club Zurich thrives on the commitment of the actuaries who feel part of it. We cordially invite you to participate in our meetings.

TO THE Events

The event was founded in analogy to the local DAV groups in Germany and in close coordination with the SAV. Membership in the DAV or SAV is not necessary to participate in the meetings of the qx-Club Zurich; an interest in actuarial issues is sufficient.
