In the handbook, it is written, I have 3 years of past work experience in the Tech-related roles in a financial software company, but I am not working currently. I resigned from work and am studying full time for Actuaries, and so, don't have a *current* employer. I'd like to know if my past experience would allow me to sit for CA2. If not, what companies are considered actuarial emplyers? I have started to look for an employment (I've cleared 6 CT exams so far) and am wondering if there is a hard definition of such a company. Also, does the point about approval from my employer mean I'll need explicit written permission from my senior at work in order to sit for the exam? Thank you for any clarifications on this matter.
This question would be better asked direct to the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries who will be able to advise you about your specific situation. You can try emailing education.services@actuaries.org.uk in the first instance. Other useful contact details are available here: http://www.actuaries.org.uk/students/pages/helpful-contacts Sarah
