Qualification handbook

The IFoA qualification handbook, previously the ‘student handbook’, is an essential document for all our members working towards qualification.

 

This handbook provides you with the information you need to plan your route to qualification as an Associate or Fellow of the IFoA. It brings together important information, guidance and support.

It is published in September each year, in line with the publication of the new Student and Associate terms and conditions. If we make any significant revisions to an edition, we will notify you. We wish you a successful and enjoyable experience as you study and qualify with the IFoA.
