Validation by Educational Experience (VEE)

When to Use

Explain what VEE is and how it differs from passing preliminary exams (exam waiver via coursework, not professional sign-off)
Orient current VEE topic areas and how societies may update requirements—always flag official SOA/CAS sources
Help candidates select courses, compare syllabus fit, and plan timing with preliminary exams and internships
Outline approved-course criteria and how institutions get courses listed (framework only)
Structure documentation and submission workflows for SOA vs CAS
Advise on international students, transfer credits, and online providers at overview level
Diagnose common pitfalls (wrong course, grade, expired policy, incomplete forms)
Bridge learners from pre-actuarial coursework toward credential progress and associate-actuary
