01 / TOTAL COST
The cheapest RE5 course isn't always the cheapest way to pass.
Consider the cost of extra exam attempts, time off work and having to start over. Look beyond the initial price tag.

Comparing RE5 course prices? Compare the support behind the price.
We understand why you want an affordable RE5 course. But when you're studying after work, stuck on the same question for the fifth time, who's there to help you understand?
At RE5 Online, the difference isn't a fancy promise. It's what happens after you enrol: real conversations, real teaching, step-by-step explanations and people who care whether you're progressing.
Real human guidance • Support available for up to 18 hours a day, nearly year-round • Updated study resources • Money-back guarantee on qualifying live courses
Don't compare apples with pears
The price is one number.
The value is everything behind it.
A low price tells you what you pay today. It doesn't tell you what happens when you need help tomorrow.
02 / HUMAN SUPPORT
Got a question? There are real people to ask.
When the legislation makes no sense, you shouldn't be left guessing. Our team offers explanations, practical examples and guidance.
03 / EXAM UNDERSTANDING
More than a mock exam percentage.
Learn why an answer is wrong, which concepts need work and how to read complicated exam wording.
04 / LEARNING OPTIONS
Choose a course that fits your life.
From study material and self-study to live webinars and workshops, we help you find the right support level for your budget.
05 / REAL COMMITMENT
We stand behind qualifying training.
Our live webinars and workshops carry a genuine, conditional exam pass money-back guarantee, subject to the published terms.
Don't take our word for it. See the conversations.
This is what our students get after they enrol.
When we say real support, we mean actual messages, actual explanations and actual encouragement. These are the moments a course price cannot show you.
What makes these different from ordinary testimonials? You can see not only what a student said, but what our team actually did to help. The screenshots below are examples shared with appropriate permission.
01 / Support when studying happens
11 pm on a Sunday. Still supporting.
Sunday 11 pm supportAdd an actual Sunday-night exchange with its genuine timestamp.
Because many learners study after everyone else has finished their day.
02 / Patient explanations
Still confused? We'll explain it another way.
Explanation, re-explanation, clarityAdd a real back-and-forth where a student eventually understands.
We don't simply paste a textbook definition and end the conversation.
03 / Exam technique
A wrong answer becomes a lesson.
Mock exam supportAdd a real question review, correction or targeted study recommendation.
Not just your score. What you misunderstood, and how to fix it.
04 / Encouragement
When confidence drops, we don't disappear.
A real moment of encouragementAdd an authentic message where the team helps a student keep going.
Practical reassurance, a plan and people who take your goals seriously.
05 / Learning outcomes
The message every student hopes to send.
Verified student-reported outcomeAdd a real success message and clearly identify it as student-reported unless independently verified.
Individual results vary, and the work students put in still matters.
Genuine conversations presented with permission and personal information protected. Messages may be cropped for privacy, not rewritten to create a different impression.

Want to see how we review a mock exam?
A short, permission-cleared excerpt of a real review can show how we identify a misunderstanding, explain the question and help the student know what to study next.
Ask us to demonstrate it ↗Real mock-exam feedback recordingOptional: insert an approved video excerpt, with student voices and details cleared for publication.
We'll explain it again. And differently.
You shouldn't have to pretend your understand the RE5 exam content.
You've read the paragraph again. You've replayed the RE5 lesson. That question still doesn't make sense.
Our students ask questions, sometimes the same question in five different ways. That's what learning looks like.
We'll explain the rules, walk through scenarios and even draw a picture if that's what it takes. We also expect you to study, practise and make use of your resources.
We'll bring the guidance. You bring the commitment.
“Not another PDF and good luck.
Real guidance when you're stuck.”

Five questions to ask before paying for an RE5 course.
These questions will tell you more about value than comparing prices alone.
Will anyone answer my questions?
RE5 Online provides real human student guidance, including explanations of confusing concepts. Available support and delivery vary by package, so ask us what your option includes.
What learning resources are included?
Depending on the course, you can receive updated study material, recorded explanations, interactive modules, mock exams and access to the online learning environment.
Can I attend classes with a facilitator?
Yes. Our live webinars and face-to-face workshops offer facilitator-led learning. We also provide self-study options for those who prefer independent preparation.
Who helps me understand wrong mock exam answers?
We focus on exam technique, misconceptions and revision. Individual mock-exam review and one-on-one services depend on the package or additional support option.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Our qualifying live webinars and workshops include a conditional 100% Exam Pass Money-Back Guarantee. You must meet all published attendance, study, exam and results requirements. It does not automatically apply to all self-study products.
Can I start on a smaller budget?
Yes. Ask our team about study guides, mock exams, self-study and payment options. We'll help you compare what is included before you register.
A promise with real terms
We stand behind our training. And we ask you to commit to yours.
Our eligible RE5 and RE1 live webinars and workshops come with a 100% Exam Pass Money-Back Guarantee. It's a commitment to students who attend, study, follow the preparation process and meet the requirements.
This is not a promise that you can pass without studying. It's a genuine, conditional guarantee.
Eligibility depends on the exact course and compliance with all published terms, including attendance, self-study, designated exam performance, exam timing and refund-request deadlines.
Take the next step with confidence
You don't need the most expensive course.
You need the right RE5preparation.
Tell us whether you're writing RE5 or RE1, when your exam is, and what you're struggling with. A real advisor can help you find the option that makes sense for your budget and support needs.
RE5 Online is an independent training provider. Official regulatory examinations are administered by the appointed examination body, not RE5 Online.

Avoid Common RE5 Mistakes
Why people fail RE5, even after studying
Many candidates do study, but still fail because they use outdated notes, memorise mock answers, book too early or never review weak areas properly. Studying is good. Studying badly is just a slower way to become disappointed.
Outdated material
Old notes or random PDFs may leave gaps in your preparation.
Memorising mock answers
Mock exams should help you understand the rule behind the answer, not just remember the answer.
Booking too early
Booking the exam before checking readiness can create unnecessary pressure and failed attempts.
Weak exam technique
Many candidates lose marks because they misread questions or rush through tricky options.
Failed before or worried you are not ready?
Fix the reason before you rewrite
Use a rewrite plan and readiness check before paying for another attempt.

Representative
Representatives usually prepare for RE5 because they render financial services for or on behalf of an FSP.
- Client-facing role
- Advice or intermediary services
- Usually linked to RE5
Key Individual
Key Individuals usually prepare for RE1 because they manage or oversee regulated activities within an FSP.
- Management or oversight role
- FSP-level responsibility
- Usually linked to RE1

DOFA & Supervision
Are you under supervision or has your DOFA started?
If your FSP has told you to complete RE5, or you are working under supervision, do not leave your preparation until the deadline becomes urgent. Start early, follow a plan, practise mock exams and check readiness before booking.

Your Date of First Appointment may affect your regulatory pathway and preparation timeline.
