Actuarial Apprenticeship

Actuaries use maths and statistics to help us predict and manage risks. This helps us understand when our customers might need our support. Our actuarial apprenticeship programme will help you learn how to analyse data, assess risks and create models to drive intelligent decision‑making. You'll work alongside expert actuaries and use your numerical, team‑working, communication and interpersonal skills while working on our products, pricing or reserving.

• Figuring out risks and how much things should cost.
• Build models to predict future outcomes.
• Calculate the cost of life insurance policies based on different scenarios.
• Create reports to share your findings.
• Make sure everything follows the rules.

During your actuarial apprenticeship, you'll:

• Engage in daily activities like solving problems, building and coding models, creating and editing Excel spreadsheets, analysing data, and providing insights.
