What dates will adviser exam be next year?
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has released the dates for the 2023 financial adviser exam.
The first exam would be held on 16 February 2023 and enrolments would open on 10 January, 2023 and close on 30 January, 2023.
This would be followed by one on 11 May, 10 August and 9 November.
All exams would be delivered remotely, a change from previous exams which had the option of attending an exam centre in person.
Last month, ASIC said there was unlikely to be any changes to the format or structure of the exam as this was decided by Government rather than ASIC.
ASIC said it would need to assess eligibility of new advisers to sit the exam before they could book an exam sitting.
“If ASIC determines that you are eligible to sit the exam, you will be issued with an exam eligibility number which you must use to book for the exam.
"To make sure new financial advisers are issued an exam eligibility number in time to book for an exam, their AFS licensee should apply for an exam eligibility number through the ASIC Regulatory Portal no later than 15 days before the last day of the booking period for an exam. For Sitting 20 the deadline is 15 January 2023.”
