Please note: ASPPA offers the EA Review Courses as an educational service for students who wish to sit for examinations which ASPPA co-sponsors with the Society of Actuaries and the Joint Board for the Enrollment of Actuaries. In order to preserve the integrity of the examination process, measures are taken by ASPPA to prevent the course instructors from having any access to information which is not available to the general public. Accordingly, students should understand that there is no advantage to participation in these courses by reason that they are offered by a co-sponsor of the examinations.
