iCAS Announces 2025 Exam & Project Dates for the CSPA Credential
The demand for predictive analytics and data science expertise in P&C insurance continues to grow, and the Certified Specialist in Predictive Analytics (CSPA) credential is designed to equip professionals with the skills they need to lead in this evolving landscape.
As part of the CAS 2025 Strategic Plan, we are focused on enhancing the candidate experience by ensuring that our credentialing process is trusted, relevant, and accessible. The CSPA is a key part of that vision, offering professionals a streamlined, high-impact pathway to deepen their expertise in predictive analytics.
