Advisers can now register for the Financial Adviser Standards and Ethics Authority exam.

Exams will be held from June 20-24 across Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane, Townsville, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Darwin and Hobart.

Advisers can also sit the exam in September or December, with further sittings next year.

The test is a key requirement of improved education, training and ethical standards for advisers, who must pass by January 2021. New advisers must pass the exam before they start the third quarter of their “professional year”.

Registrations are open until May 31. To sign up, click here.
