Where do I write these regulatory examinations

The regulatory exams are being developed and delivered under the direction and management of the FSB. Four examination bodies have been appointed to assist with the development of the regulatory examination questions and the delivery on a national and international basis. The approved examination bodies are as follow:

 

•  Financial Planning Institute (FPI):

http://re.fpi.co.za/

•  Leselo:

•  Moonstone:

http://www.faisexam.co.za/

 

 
 

The registration process to enroll for the examinations is explained on each of these websites of the examination bodies. Please refer to their websites for specific details regarding registration requirements.

Arrangements can be made to accommodate FSPs that are situated overseas. For more information on how to register for an international examination please contact the examination bodies directly.

It should be noted that currently, not all examination bodies offer all of the examinations. It is therefore important to check which examination body offers which examination before registration. The table below provides some guidance on which examination is offered by each of the examination bodies.
