If you are a new financial adviser, or a foreign adviser, ASIC will need to assess your eligibility to sit the exam before you can book for the exam.

If ASIC determines that you are eligible to sit the exam, you will be issued with an exam eligibility number which you must use to book for the exam.

For information on how to obtain an exam eligibility number, see Eligibility to sit the exam.

When applying for an exam eligibility number, please note that ASIC can only accept a certified copy of the final academic transcript, that is, certified as per ASIC’s certification requirements or a certified copy of a letter from the educational institution confirming that the candidate has met all the requirements for award of the degree/qualification.

Applications for an exam eligibility number received after 12 April 2022 will not be processed in time for you to book for the May exam.
