South African Dofa Deadline

Posted on

Just a gentle reminder to all those who are required to successfully complete the level 1 Regulatory Examinations by the end of June that the final dates for registration are as follows:

Permanent Centres: 13 June is the last date on which you can register to write on 30 June 2014.

Satellite Venues: 10 June is the last on which you can register to write on 30 June 2014.

Not every candidate passes at the first attempt. Please bear these dates in mind to give yourself a fair change of re-writing should this happen to you.

UK Regulatory Exams for Foreign FSPs

The final exams before the 30 June 2014 cut-off date in the UK take place on 27 June 2014. Registration closes on 6 June, so please make sure you register in time. We expect huge demand for these exams in view of the requirement that foreign FSPs have to write before the end of June. Please do not delay booking your seat.

The FSB has set a standard of ten working days prior to the examination date for those wishing to effect changes to their registration dates. Kindly bear this in mind in your planning.

Our website contains a wealth of RE information. We strongly urge you spend some time there to acquaint yourself with what to expect when you write.
