The Financial Adviser Standards and Ethics Authority (FASEA) has confirmed 10 regional locations for the December exam sitting: Townsville, Rockhampton, Mackay, Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba, Gosford, Orange, Wagga Wagga, Albury/Wodonga and Bendigo.
Advisers can register for the December 2019 exam from 30 July to 8 November, as well as from 30 July to 30 August for the September 2019 exam.
Each location would have at least two sitting days with up two sessions a day, depending on the level of demand.
