ps:不知道那位可以提供以下每一个Module所对应的textbook的chapter,我想提前看看。可以发信息给我,非常感谢。
基本介绍如下:
What are the eight FAP modules?
FAP is comprised of eight modules completed in sequence as content in later modules builds upon the content of earlier modules.
- Module 1: Introduction/Role of the Professional Actuary
- Module 2: Core External Forces
- Module 3: Risk in Actuarial Problems
- Module 4: Actuarial Solutions
- Module 5: Design and Pricing of an Actuarial Solution
- Module 6: Model Selection and Solution Design
- Module 7: Selection of Initial Assumptions
- Module 8: Monitoring Results
The focus of this module is to provide an overview of the basic framework for actuarial work and functions using the Control Cycle as the model. Additionally, the module provides candidates with an overview of the actuarial profession, the major areas of practice and the skills required of actuaries.
Module 2: Core External ForcesThe focus of this module is to describe and demonstrate how external forces (outside of the actuarial sphere) effect and integrate into actuarial work; how they interrelate and change.
Module 3: Risk in Actuarial ProblemsThe focus of this module is to enable candidates to learn how to identify and define problems in various practice areas. This module creates the foundation for understanding risk in actuarial problems and the commonalities that exist among problems so that they can be effectively addressed regardless of area of actuarial practice.
Module 4: Actuarial SolutionsThis module builds upon Module 3. The primary goal of the module is to create a foundation for candidates to understand actuarial problems across practice areas and demonstrate how the entire Control Cycle is applied. Candidates will gain practical experience with key concepts related to traditional actuarial solutions and understand how actuaries provide value to their employers and/or clients.
Module 5: Design and Pricing of an Actuarial SolutionThe focus of this module is to introduce fundamental concepts behind the tools used to solve common actuarial problems. Using various models, the module introduces candidates to coverages and benefit/policy design components of several actuarial solutions.
Module 6: Model Selection and Solution DesignThe focus of Module 6 is to provide candidates with an overview of model selection and model building and how these processes fit within the context of the Control Cycle. The module creates the foundation for candidates to understand how to select an appropriate model for a given problem and design a solution.
Module 7: Selection of Initial AssumptionsThis module builds upon previous modules focused on helping candidates identify and define problems and design solutions. The goal of this module is to introduce the methods and tools actuaries use to identify, select and quantify assumptions. Candidates will understand how the identification, selection and quantification of assumptions finalizes the "design solution" element of the Control Cycle and transitions actuarial work to that of monitoring results.
Module 8: Monitoring ResultsThe final module of the FAP course focuses on the purposes of monitoring experience and the techniques used by actuaries. The "monitor experience" element of the Control Cycle is dependent upon the objectives and definition of the problem addressed and the solution designed by the actuary. Candidates learn how monitoring results provides feedback to the other Control Cycle elements and how the feedback loop, in context with the work of the actuary, completes the Control Cycle.
