Remote November Exam Sitting Option for Melbourne Advisers – FASEA

0

Due to Covid-19 restrictions in Victoria and the continued closure of Melbourne metropolitan exam venues, FASEA announced, on October 21*, that the Melbourne physical location exams are not able to be offered for the November sitting of the Financial Adviser Exam.

A statement from the authority says advisers who have registered for a Melbourne physical location exam will have the option to sit the exam online or defer to January or a later sitting.

The Geelong exam location will continue to be offered to advisers in regional Victoria.

FASEA says the  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.

*Asked if the  easing of the Melbourne restrictions would mean any change to its October 21 statement, FASEA said that its Exam Administrator (ACER) is monitoring the advice regarding Melbourne Covid-19 restrictions closely.

It said that at this stage, given the timing, there is no change to offering remote for November. Any changes will be advised directly to the advisers impacted.
