As you progress through the exams and transition into professional practice, continuing education (CE) becomes an important part of your actuarial journey. While formal CE requirements apply after you earn your credential, many candidates are already thinking ahead—building good habits, exploring new topics, and staying current in a rapidly changing profession. 

One of the most accessible and flexible ways to earn CE credit is through webinars. Whether you’re looking to deepen your technical expertise, learn about emerging issues, or simply hear how other actuaries are navigating the profession, there is no shortage of high-quality webinar resources available to candidates and members. Below is a roundup of some of the most useful and commonly used webinar resources for actuaries pursuing or planning for CE credit. 

Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) 

The CAS is the primary source of relevant, high-quality continuing education for property and casualty actuaries. The Society regularly offers live and recorded webinars covering a wide range of topics, including: 

• P&C pricing and reserving
• Predictive analytics and data science
• Emerging risks (cyber, climate, AI, etc.) 
• Professionalism and regulatory developments 

Many CAS webinar recordings are available on demand, providing convenient access for those with busy schedules. Even if you’re not yet required to log CE, attending CAS webinars can help you stay connected to the profession and gain exposure to real-world applications of exam concepts. 

See what is available from the CAS at www.pathlms.com/cas. 

American Academy of Actuaries (AAA) 

The American Academy of Actuaries provides webinars with a strong emphasis on professionalism, public policy, and regulatory matters—areas that are especially important once you begin practicing as a credentialed actuary. 

These webinars are particularly useful for understanding how actuarial work intersects with lawmakers, regulators, and the public. For candidates approaching fellowship, Academy webinars can also serve as an early introduction to professionalism-focused CE, which is a key component of ongoing requirements. 

The AAA offerings can be found at https://actuary.org/calendar/. 

Employer-sponsored and industry webinars 

Many actuarial employers, consulting firms, and insurance organizations host internal or public webinars that qualify for CE credit. Here are just a few that are available: 

• Pinnacle APEX (www.pinnacleactuaries.com/webinars) 
• Conference of Consulting Actuaries (CCA) (www.ccactuaries.org/meetings-education/education/webinars) 
• Akur8 (www.akur8.com/resources/webinars) 

Even when CE credit is not your immediate goal, these webinars can be excellent learning opportunities—and they often come with the added benefit of networking or exposure to different practice areas. 

Tips for making the most of webinars 

• Track what you attend. Even before CE is mandatory, keeping a simple log builds a good habit. 
• Mix technical and professional topics. A well-rounded actuary needs both. 
• Be intentional. Choose webinars that align with your interests or stretch you into new areas. 
• Try to attend live when possible. Asking questions or participating in polls can deepen your understanding. 

Looking ahead 

Continuing education is not just a requirement—it’s an opportunity. Webinars provide a low-barrier, high-impact way to stay engaged with the actuarial profession, explore emerging issues, and prepare for life beyond the exam process. 

For Future Fellows, taking advantage of these resources now can make the transition to fellowship smoother and more rewarding. Whether you’re tuning in live or watching on demand, every webinar is a chance to keep learning and growing as an actuary.
