[ddractuary]

Does anyone know the tentative locations and dates for the 2009 FAC?

Thanks!

Too early now, I'm afraid.

Does the CAS require the FAC or something like? I don't find it. It seems that a candidate will be an FCAS after completing all the required exams. No such an FAC or something of the kind. Has anyone noticed this?

CAS has a professionalism course. It's not like the FAC, but it covers similar content, I'm told.

Thanks, all! But I think the COP of CAS is much like the APC of SOA. The FAC of SOA is more like a graduation ceremony. In the FAC you get your FSA certificate and start to use the FSA designation thereafter. The feeling may be better, but the expense is much higher especially for the guys like me living outside of North America. :)

I'm wondering whether the guy passing all the CAS exams including COP can use the FCAS designation immediately after he knows that he has passed his last CAS exam as there is no CAS graduation ceremony. Is it?
