I asked the exams team when I should expect the CiD certificate and was told: "You would receive a results letter for your ST6 exam but no certificate as it now only known as ST6 and not CiD." Gareth - is this definetly wrong?
i passed ST6 last April and received a Certificate in Derivatives. Maybe that's changed since - does the exam paper still say ST6 / CID?
It does. I pointed that out and their response was: You are correct the title had not been dropped but from this year it will be. However, there is still not a separate Certificate available. You would just receive a pass/fail grade in ST6 on a results letter. If you did not receive this letter please let me know and I will e-mail you one. Cant say I'm happy with their response.
that's a shame, it's quite nice being able to say you have the Certificate in Derivatives. on the positive side, at least you have one less exam to do!
Thing is, when I sat it (in September) the CiD title hadn’t been dropped, no more than it had in the April sitting – don’t get how they can issue certificates to the April people but not the September people. Also, does not issuing a paper certificate imply you cant say you’ve passed the CiD? I would argue not as its in the title of the exam.
that is wierd a certificate for april but not for september... it clearly has "certificate in derivative" on september paper! on the page below it clearly indicates this subject is still being offered as a certificate type cpd qualification... http://www.actuaries.org.uk/Display_Page.cgi?url=/maintained/cpd/derivatives.html
