Kaplan Professional will provide free FASEA exam preparation support to advisers yet to pass the exam.
A statement from the company says this includes:
- Free enrolment into all three versions of the Kaplan Adviser Practice Exam (KAPE)
- Free monthly webinars focused on how advisers can perform at their best when preparing for, and sitting, the FASEA exam
- Individual tutoring with experienced industry practitioners for those who need it will also be available at cost
“We want to do as much as we can to support licensees and encourage advisers by providing free access to our comprehensive exam preparation resources,” says Kaplan Professional CEO Brian Knight.
“Kaplan Professional is responding to advice from FASEA that almost half of the advice industry is yet to pass the FASEA exam, and we want to do what we can to help.”
The company says that KAPE is is designed to simulate the conditions, duration and structure of the FASEA exam.
Questions are written by Kaplan’s subject matter experts and are regularly reviewed to ensure they are in line with FASEA’s latest exam guidance.
Advisers will be able to complete each version of KAPE unsupervised in their own time and will gain access to an online exam preparation room and receive prompt detailed feedback after they complete KAPE to identify possible areas for improvement.

“We know there are advisers out there who are apprehensive about sitting the FASEA exam or have failed and may be struggling with some self-doubt,” says Knight.
“What we have found is that advisers are actually confident and familiar with most of the content covered in the FASEA exam – the key is to try to get them to feel comfortable with performing at their best under high-pressure exam conditions.”
Knight says advisers who passed the FASEA exam then had until 1 January 2026 to decide whether to complete further study or exit the industry.
“Passing the FASEA exam will give these advisers more time to carefully consider what they want to do going forward, completing ongoing study or thinking through succession strategies,” he says.
