The waivers above will be granted as you begin the SOA exam pathway. All IAI Exams shown in the chart above are required to have been passed directly with the IAI or earned by exemption via the equivalent IFoA subject to be eligible to apply for waiver credit.

The IAI waiver policy above is a standalone policy and therefore does not impact our existing policy of not accepting IFoA exemptions for waiver credit or mutual recognition if they are based on IAI Exams.

This program will be evaluated regularly to ensure consistencies between the associated exams.
