How Much Does The Ninja Challenge Cost?
The mistake that many aspiring actuaries make is that they think that learning Excel on their own will be cheaper.
But, what they often don’t take into account is it’s far less efficient, and doesn’t teach how Excel is used in an actuarial context.
By joining the Excel Ninja Challenge, you get to apply your skills to multiple actuarial-related scenarios. Plus, you get to ask questions as you go (which is always a bonus when you’re trying to learn something new).
So, this is your chance to learn and apply your skills to actuarial projects and scenarios that you can talk about on your resume and during interviews.
It’s just $349 (or you can become a member of our Actuary Accelerator Community and participate for FREE as a member).
