Student feedback survey now live

Open-access content Wednesday 8th November 2017 — updated 5.50pm, Wednesday 29th April 2020

The IFoA runs an annual survey for current students and learners about their experience of our education services over the preceding 12 months. Their feedback plays a major role in maintaining the quality and standards of our education.


The IFoA runs an annual survey for current students and learners about their experience of our education services over the preceding 12 months. Their feedback plays a major role in maintaining the quality and standards of our education. 

The IFoA aspires to give students the best possible experience - from joining, through to qualifying and your future career - so feedback is an extremely important part of the actuary student journey as we need to know how we are doing. We aim to listen and respond to all comments, positive or negative. We are especially interested in your feedback in the following areas: 

  •  Our standards of service 
  •  Your preparations for examinations 
  •  Arrangements for 2017 exam sittings 
  •  How relevant our syllabus is to the workplace.

 


Purpose of student feedback survey

  • Enhancing members' learning experience
  • Contributing to monitoring and review of the quality and standards of our services
  • Ensuring the effectiveness and competitiveness of our qualification
  • Enabling a constructive dialogue and thereby improving relationships with our members
  • Identifying good practices in the professional qualification journey
  • Measuring student satisfaction.

 


You can fill out the survey online at www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/EducationProcesses-201

In addition to the student survey, there are various feedback mechanisms current students can use. Full details can be found on our website: www.actuaries.org.uk/studying/student-consultative-forum
