The next exam sitting will be held between 25 and 30 March this year, including on weekends and with up to two in-person sittings each day. The exam can also be taken online or in person in 16 cities across Australia, both metropolitan and regional. The booking period for the March exam is currently open online. Preparation materials are available on the FASEA website and via private providers.

When my financial adviser—I won't name him, because he'll get embarrassed—received his results, he was so pleased he sent me a text message. Even for highly skilled and educated advisers, as he is—he already has a master's degree in finance—he knew that this was a new level of professionalism for him and for his firm.

I encourage all financial advisers who have not yet passed this exam to register for this sitting. With your help, we can make our financial planning, stockbroking and insurance advising industry the best in the world.
