Your likely choices is going to be The Infinite Actuary (http://www.theinfiniteactuary.com/?page=cas5).

EMB (http://www.emb.com/us/cas-part-5-seminar.php) offers a live seminar/study package, but only for the Ratemaking portion of the Exam.

EMB is really more like an online seminar, but it can be interactive with the instructor through Webinar. I don't like that it is only Ratmaking and it is spread out from January 13th to April 10th. Finishing the 'seminar' so late makes it less practical for those studying for both. I heard that the notes you receive are not sufficient, but that the new problems from EMB are great.

TIA is much better online than in person, IMHO.

It's a shame that there aren't more choices. Competition makes products better.

TIA wiped out the competition, thus they are the best.

And I claim that they could be much better, but they have no reason to try until someone else enters the market.

Due to the exam redesign I don't think that they are planning to offer a seminar for this upcoming seating. Your best bet is to directly contact them.
