The Financial Adviser Standards and Ethics Authority (FASEA) has confirmed 10 regional locations for the December exam sitting: Townsville, Rockhampton, Mackay, Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba, Gosford, Orange, Wagga Wagga, Albury/Wodonga and Bendigo.
Advisers can register for the December 2019 exam from 30 July to 8 November, as well as from 30 July to 30 August for the September 2019 exam.
Each location would have at least two sitting days with up two sessions a day, depending on the level of demand.
Stephen Glenfield, FASEA chief executive, said: “We continue to work closely with the Australian Council for Education Research (ACER) and industry to expand the geographical and frequency of exam opportunities to optimise advisers’ ability to sit the exam and help them comply with the education standard in 2021.”
