The US Casualty Actuarial Society is moving to Computer Based Testing using Pearson Vue approved sites. There are such sites in Jamaica and Trinidad. We would like to know if you or anyone you know is a CAS student in any other Caribbean territory. We will then work with the CAS on your behalf to see what can be arranged.
