Are you an actuary wanting to work in enterprise risk management? Then get a headstart with a universal qualification from the CERA Global Association (CGA).

Since the development of this highly regarded actuarial qualification in 2007, the number of chartered enterprise risk actuaries (CERAs) has grown steadily and now stands at just over 3,000 worldwide.

CERA is a globally recognised and accredited qualification that was initially established in the US by the Society of Actuaries in 2007. In 2009, 14 national associations from 12 countries joined to create the global CERA credential that addressed the growing need for highly qualified risk professionals in the finance and non-finance sectors. As one CERA has said: "The non-financial business arena is enormous, and actuaries are well placed to add real value in the risk management process. We must grasp the opportunity that the CERA qualification has created, and play our part in that arena."

In 2015, the number of CERA holders outside the UK grew by 20.5% and the IFoA saw average growth of just over 10 CERAs a month, bringing its total to 459.

Enterprise risk management (ST9) continues to be the second most popular exam in the specialist technical (ST) series. As a result, the CGA has increased the number of CERA seminars held each year by 25% to accommodate this increased level of interest.
