Hi there
I am just wondering if anyone here can give any advice... I started studying with the UK institute a few years ago and I am almost finished the CTs (3 left and sitting 2 this month - I had no exemptions as I didn't do Actuary at Uni).
I have been living in Australia for nearly 2 years now and have been sitting the exams here but have not transferred my membership as the CTs are the same in the UK and Australia so there was no need. After the CTs (part I in Australia) however, the exams take quite different paths so I need to decide whether to stick with the UK exams (which I can sit in Australia no problem) or transfer my membership and do Part II and III of the Australian exams.
I plan on being in Australia for at least a few more years so I will (hopefully) qualify while I am still here but will most likely end up back in UK/Ireland eventually.
I want to choose the easier/quicker path but I am just not sure which path this is or if it really makes much difference at all. I know plenty of people that have qualified through both but the problem is people cannot compare as they only know the exams they sat themselves.
Does anyone know any more about this or have any thoughts or advice?
Thanks
