05就业方向

精算师 • SOA是Society of Actuaries的缩写，即北美精算协会。它主要从事寿险精算领域的科学研

究和职业培训。其高级精算师认证可以说是寿险精算领域甚至整个精算行业最权威的

认证。

• 北美精算学会是一个国际性的精算教育和研究机构及其会员的一个学术团体，成立于

1949年，总部设在美国伊利诺斯州肖伯格。中国于1987年引入北美精算师考试。北美

精算师是目前国际上最具影响力的精算师资格。

• 北美精算师考试制度分为二个阶段：第一阶段是准精算师（ASA）。对准精算师的考试

要求为300学分，即除了100系列的11门课程（复利数学、精算数学等）外，还须通过

200系列的4门课程（经济保障计划、精算实务等）。每门课在10至30学分不等。

• 第二阶段是正精算师（FSA）。考生在取得准精算师资格证书后才可参加FSA课程考试。

把正精算师的考试课程分为财务、团体与健康保险、个人人寿与健康保险、养老金、

投资五个方向，每个方向又分若干门课，每门课学分在10至30分不等。要取得FSA资格

必须通过以上一个方向的所有课程考试，以及再选择以上方向的其他课程，使学分达

到150分，即学分总计要达到450分。当FSA要素的课程考试全部通过后，考生还要参加

最后一门课程正精算师认可课程（FAC），其内容主要是职业道德和案例，时间为二天

半，一般只要自始至终参加，在结束后的晚宴上会获得FSA证书。

• 中国考点：先后在天津、长沙、上海、北京、广州、合肥、西安、深圳设立了8个考点。

精算师是运用精算方法和技术解决经济问题的专业人士。精算师传统的工作领域为商业保险业，主要从事产品开发、责任准备金核算、利源分析及动态偿付能力测试等重要工作。

• 保险公司、咨询公司工作、政府机构和高等院校都迫切地需要这些人才。
