Book to sit the exam

ASIC has engaged the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) as our service provider to manage bookings and deliver the exam.

You can book and pay for the exam through the ACER online booking portal during the booking period under the exam schedule. The exam is held remotely (via remote proctoring).

Booking your exam

If you have a financial adviser number (current or ceased), you can use this number to book to sit the exam. You can locate your financial adviser number by searching the Financial Advisers Register.

All other people, including those training to become financial advisers and foreign existing advisers, need an exam eligibility number from ASIC.

You must request an exam eligibility number by emailing ASIC at EENrequest@asic.gov.au with the following details:

  • Full name (first name, middle name (if applicable) and surname)
  • Date of birth (day/month/year)

Please include another email address (if applicable) that you will use to book the exam with ACER.

To make sure an exam eligibility number is issued in time for you to book the exam, you should email ASIC with the requested information no less than 5 business days before the last day of the booking period for an exam. See the exam schedule for the booking periods for upcoming exams.

If you have previously received an exam eligibility number from ASIC, you do not need to request another. You can book to sit the exam using your existing exam eligibility number.

ACER will send you an admission ticket before the exam date which must be presented to the proctor with one form of photo identification to access the exam.

You can also use ACER’s online booking portal to:

  • apply for reasonable adjustments if you have a disability or other health-related need that might impact your ability to sit the exam in the standard manner
  • access your exam results.

You can only book to sit the exam during the booking period for each sitting, as listed in the exam schedule. Late bookings will not be accepted under any circumstances.

For further information on how to book to sit for the exam via remote proctoring, visit Resources: Financial adviser exam and see the Financial adviser exam: Candidate information booklet and the Financial adviser exam: Remote proctoring information and step-by-step guide.

The exam fee

The exam costs $1,500 for each sitting. This fee is payable when booking to sit the exam.

You will receive a confirmation receipt when you pay the fee. However, a tax invoice is not issued as there is no GST component on the exam fee.
