The Financial Adviser Standards and Ethics Authority (FASEA) will communicate in the next couple of days as to what Sydney exam takers’ options will be regarding the July exam which could be impacted by the lockdown.
The exam would be due to be held on 15 to 20 July but there was a possibility that in-person exams would not be allowed as Sydney’s lockdown had been extended by another week until 16 July.
Speaking at a webinar hosted by the Association of Financial Advisers (AFA), Amelia Constantinidis, FASEA standards director, said: “Given the breaking news [on Wednesday] regarding the extension [of the Sydney lockdown], I’ve been working with our exam administration to work through what the options are for the advisers that are impacted.
“Please make sure you stay close to your email as you will be emailed a number of options, hopefully by tomorrow or Friday at the very latest.
“We are on top of the situation trying to get as much advice as we can from the health experts in terms of what will be available and what we can and can’t do, and we will communicate it as soon as possible.”
During the Melbourne lockdowns last year, FASEA gave candidates the option to sit online or defer to a later sitting, although it was yet to be confirmed if that would be the case in this scenario.

Warning ProctorU has major problems !!!!
Regional Advisers don’t have much choice but to use it or pay heaps more in time, travel and accomodation costs.
Many Advisers have had major problems, hours of frustrating delays, system problems, internet problems, etc.
Advisers taking 3 + hrs just to get started = major stress and frustration.
Advisers being interrupted 40 times during exam by the online ProctorU observer as the system was failing regularity.
Advisers taking up to 10 hours from trying to start the exam, being constantly interrupted in the exam and then taking hours after to have it lodged and accepted.
Adviser then only just Fail and get NO special consideration.
WARNING FARSEA WILL DO NOTHING TO HELP YOU WHEN PROCTORU FAILS TO WORK PROPERLY.
FARSEA TAKES ZERO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR CHOSEN ONLINE EXAM SYSTEM FAILURES.
FARSEA WILL NOT GIVE YOUR EXAM MARK SPECIAL CONSIDERATION.
FARSEA WILL NOT APPLY ANY ETHICS TO SUCH PROBLEMS AND WILL TOTALLY SCREW U.
Avoid ProtorU like you avoid COVID.
