The CAWG kicked off a new series with the goal of taking your questions and answering them in each issue. We invite you to send us your questions by emailing cawg@casact.org. All questions will be posted anonymously and answered by members of the CAWG.

Q: When will candidates be required to take the new Property Casualty Predictive Analytics (PCPA) project as part of achieving the CAS Associate designation?

A: A group of volunteers is working through an exclusive first offering of the PCPA project, which kicked off in November 2023. The goal of the first offering is to gather statistical data on the assessments, capture feedback on the overall experience, and validate the estimated study times and project completion times. The PCPA is scheduled for an official launch in May 2024 and will be an ACAS requirement beginning November 1, 2025. All candidates and members can register to take the PCPA starting in May 2024.
