CAS Online Courses: Syllabus and Requirements

Course Structure

CAS online courses cover topics not included in the traditional exam syllabus, such as insurance company operations, risk classification, and professional ethics. These self-paced courses include readings, exercises, and quizzes. Each course takes approximately 15 to 25 hours to complete. They provide practical context for the technical material covered in CAS exams and help bridge the gap between exam knowledge and professional practice.

Planning Your Completion

Online courses can be completed at any point during your CAS credentialing journey, but most candidates tackle them between exams during lighter study periods. They do not require the same intensity as exam preparation, making them good candidates for the weeks immediately after an exam sitting. Complete them early in your career to build foundational knowledge of insurance operations that will help contextualize your exam material. Check the CAS website for the most current course requirements since the curriculum evolves over time. Registration is through the CAS website and courses must be completed within a specified timeframe after enrollment.
