FASEA provides remote November Exam sitting option for financial advisers in Melbourne due to Covid-19 restrictions
Due to COVID-19 restrictions in place in Victoria and the continued closure of Melbourne metropolitan exam venues, FASEA advises that the Melbourne physical location exams are not able to be offered for the November sitting of the Financial Adviser Exam.
Advisers who have registered for a Melbourne physical location exam will have the option to sit the exam online or defer to January or later sitting.
The Geelong exam location will continue to be offered to advisers in regional Victoria.
This measure is being taken in light of the evolving COVID-19 pandemic situation in Victoria and in the interests of all involved with the Exam.
The exam administrator (ACER) will contact candidates registered for November Melbourne metropolitan exam sittings to explain their options to sit the exam.
ACER requests candidates ensure their email addresses are up to date in the registration system to facilitate this contact.
FASEA continues to monitor and will act upon the advice of the Federal and State Governments.
