RE5 Study Material PDF
There are two sets of material which can be used for preparation purposes:
The Preparation Guide for RE1 and RE5 which is available at https://www.fsca.co.za/Regulated Entities/Pages/LR-FAIS-Amendments.aspx and
The legislation itself. The Preparation Guide refers to the relevant sections in the Act and subordinate legislation that must be studied.
The Preparation Guides are important as they stipulate the content of the exams, in that they seek to describe what the examination questions will be testing. All examination questions are based on the content as set out and in addition the Preparation Guides map out exactly where you can find the appropriate information in the legislation.
TASK
The task describes what the candidate must be able to do in respect of the legislation.
QUALIFYING CRITERIA
The qualifying criteria refer to the knowledge that a person must have to perform the task.
REFERENCE / MOTIVATION
In this column the reference to the actual legislation is provided – if you read the particular section of the legislation, then you will have the required knowledge as referred to in the qualifying criteria.
Every question in the question bank for all the regulatory examinations is based upon the “qualifying criteria” (or the knowledge column) as discussed. The questions must be connected to these knowledge criteria otherwise it may not be included in the examination as an examination question.
One can not anticipate to be evaluated on legislation without having read the legislation. By checking out the legislation you will get used to the definitions, terms and the way in which the legislation is drafted. Reading the legislation will help you to interpret the questions properly.
