Course Notes

The Course Notes for Subject CP3 have been written to teach you the general principles and techniques of good business writing, and to give you advice on passing the CP3 exam. The notes should be worked through before attempting any exam-style questions (eg assignments).

The notes are relatively short (about 170 pages) - a sample (including content pages) is available to download here.

Course Notes are available in printed format and as an eBook, which can be purchased as an addition to the printed product or as a stand-alone product.

Assignments

The main way to become a good ‘actuarial communicator’ is to practise.

The Series X Assignments are included in the Combined Materials Pack. They can be purchased with or without marking.

These assignments have the same format as the actual CP3 exam. Material that must be read in advance of attempting the questions under exam conditions is supplied as part of the assignment pack. This material includes numeric data, and spreadsheets containing this data can be downloaded below.

Please refer to the latest corrections document before completing your assignment(s).
