The week covers life insurance, general insurance and pensions through workshops and model-building exercises. It runs twice, once online and once at the London office, where there may also be visits to insurers and a social evening. Completing the programme guarantees a place at the third stage of whichever of APR's graduate actuarial or junior analyst schemes you apply to. Pay is not mentioned.
