IFoA website maintenance

Our website will be undergoing essential maintenance and will be temporarily unavailable from 6:00 – 7:00 AM (UK time) on Thursday 20 February.

However, you will still be able to access your member portal during this time, where you can book exams, register for events, engage with Communities, and use the VLE as usual.

We appreciate your patience while we carry out this necessary work to keep our systems running smoothly. Thank you for your understanding!
