Overview
ASHK Examination is viewed by the ASHK Council as a necessary step in ensuring actuaries practicing in Hong Kong have the relevant local knowledge.

We are supported by regulators and the government that recognise the actuarial profession’s importance to Hong Kong’s future development. The Insurance Authority (IA) expects that a candidate passing the local examination offered by the ASHK would be one of the acceptable means of satisfying the local knowledge requirement for the approval of those actuaries performing statutory roles by IA.

This examination is a 1.5-hour open-book paper-based examination consisting of 60 multiple-choice questions.  It comprises two papers - (i) Core paper; (ii) one of the three Elective papers, i.e., Life Insurance, Pension and General Insurance.  Each paper takes 45 minutes for 30 questions.

Candidate Resources: To support candidates in preparing for and taking the Examination, you can take advantage of the study resources, free information session as well as study group services (optional) HERE.


CPD Recognition: Studying for the ASHK Examination can count for self-learning CPD hours.  In addition, if ASHK members take and pass the examination, they can earn CPD hours for the calendar year in which the examination is taken.  In general, each 1.5-hour examination will earn 1.5 CPD hour.
