Program Information
New format of Regular and Advanced Predictive Analytics Program!
Since January 2026, all Predictive Analytics e-learning modules are available in Professional Development Edge+ (PD Edge+), SOA’s PD subscription platform. The content of all e-learning modules is the same and, as before, you’ll get in-depth coverage of predictive modeling and data analytics. The only change is that the final assessment will no longer be available.
PD Edge + has Individual and Corporate subscriptions available on a yearly basis. In addition to Predictive Analytics modules, both types of subscriptions include all live webcasts, courses, plus over 1,000 pieces of on-demand PD content, including recordings from past conferences.
