Preparing for the RE1 exam can feel overwhelming, especially when you are trying to understand FAIS legislation, the General Code of Conduct, FSP licensing, representatives, record-keeping and exam-style application questions.

At RE5 Online, our main 2026 RE1 course is the RE1 Live Webinar because it gives students structure, support, recordings, mock exams, updated study material and a clear study process before writing the Moonstone exam.

Who should take an RE1 course?

If you work as a representative under the FAIS Act in South Africa, you need to pass the RE1 regulatory exam to meet the relevant fit and proper requirements for your role.

The RE1 exam is important for financial advisors, insurance representatives, banking representatives, sales consultants, client-facing FAIS staff and anyone who renders financial advice or intermediary services under supervision or authorisation.

The RE1 exam tests your understanding of:

  • FAIS legislation and regulatory responsibilities
  • The General Code of Conduct
  • FSP licensing requirements
  • Representatives, supervision and fit and proper requirements
  • Record-keeping and compliance duties
  • Conflict of interest and disclosure requirements
  • Exam-style application questions

Why we no longer focus on 2-day RE1 workshops

For many years, RE1 workshops were one of the most common ways to prepare for the exam. But after working with thousands of students and reviewing our own internal results, we made an important decision.

Sitting in class for 2 full days creates information overload

The RE1 exam covers a large amount of legislation and technical content. Trying to absorb everything in two full classroom days often leaves students motivated, but mentally overloaded.

Students may understand the content during the workshop, but struggle later with retention, revision structure and long-term application. The brain is not exactly thrilled when you throw two days of compliance legislation at it and call it a plan.

Our RE1 Live Webinar performs better

After analysing our statistics, we discovered that our RE1 Live Webinar has a 91.35% success rate. That is why the webinar is now our main recommended RE1 course option.

RE1 Live Webinar success rate based on our internal student performance statistics.

The webinar works better because learning is spread across evening sessions, students can rewatch recordings, ask questions, revise between classes and continue studying after the live sessions.

Other RE1 preparation options

Not every student needs the same level of support. If the webinar is not the right fit for your situation, we also offer self-study and support options.

2026 RE1 Study Material

Best for disciplined self-study candidates who need updated RE1 study material before practising questions.

RE1 Online Self-Study

Best for students who want videos, slides, mock exams, interactive modules and dashboard access without attending live classes.

One-on-One RE1 Support

Best for students who failed before, feel stuck, or need personal help understanding weak areas before rewriting.

Please do not book your RE1 exam too early

Many students fail because they book the Moonstone exam before they are ready. Passing RE1 requires more than attending classes or doing a few mock exams.

After the webinar, students should complete structured self-study for at least 25 days. We recommend 1 hour per day, consistently, before writing the exam.

If you are unsure whether you are ready, ask us before booking. It is far cheaper to pause and prepare properly than to fail and pay again. A tragic little lesson many people insist on learning the expensive way.
