EXAM INFORMATION

Structure

Each different submodule has a separate exam. Each exam per submodule consists of 20 multiple choice questions (no guessing correction).  A proctoring exam session lasts a maximum of 2 hours. It takes about 30 minutes to complete a submodule. Thus the system allows you to take a maximum of 4 exams in one exam session. To succeed, you must achieve a minimum score of 60% per submodule.

Dates

The exam dates are only available on your own account within our digital learning platform. You will be given access to our digital learning platform after the payment and processing of your registration. Syllabi and exercises are made available to you as soon as we have received your payment. We schedule an exam moment each week. You indicate yourself when you wish to take the exam. You can change the chosen date free of charge up to 5 calendar days before the exam.

Results

If your result is positive, you will find a certificate accredited by the FSMA on your own account within our digital learning platform proving that you have passed the exam (indicated per module) and which demonstrates that you have the required technical knowledge.

If you have not passed one or more exams, you can register for a resit on MyFebelfinAcademy. 

When choosing a new date, a waiting period of 15 days needs to be respected. This period of 15 days commences on the day following the date of the exam for which you were not successful. For example: if you took an exam on 1 September, you can retake it on a date after 16 September.
