Get clear answers about what the exams require, what the webinar packages include, how your study progress is tracked, and how to register for the 2026–2027 groups.
What is RE5, and who needs to write it?+
RE5 is South Africa’s regulatory examination for representatives of financial services providers (FSPs) where the FAIS requirements apply. It tests regulatory duties, including advice, disclosure, fit and proper standards, record keeping and client protection. Some roles and activities are exempt, so confirm your requirement with your FSP or compliance team.
What is RE1, and who should register for the RE1 webinar?+
RE1 is the regulatory examination concerned with the management and oversight responsibilities of FSPs and Key Individuals, where applicable. It is different from RE5, which focuses on representatives. People holding both types of responsibilities may need both examinations.
Should I take RE5, RE1, or the combo course?+
Choose RE5 if you need the representative examination, RE1 if you need the Key Individual or applicable management examination, or the combo if both apply to your role. The combo starts with RE5 preparation; your RE1 classes are arranged afterwards. Your FSP or compliance team should confirm which examinations you are required to pass.

The Black Friday RE5 live webinar is R1,070, reduced from R2,675. The discount is 60%. It includes the full live course and study resources, one-on-one mock review, exam readiness assessment and 30 bonus days of platform access.
What is the RE1 Black Friday special price?+
The RE1 live webinar is R1,260 during Black Friday, reduced from R3,150, a 60% saving. It includes six two-hour live sessions (including Q&A), RE1 practice material, personal review support and the extra 30 days of learning access.
How much is the RE5 and RE1 Black Friday combo?+

Can I start studying immediately after paying?+

Are the RE5 and RE1 webinars live or recorded?+
The training is delivered as live, interactive evening webinars from 19:00 to 21:00 South African time. Course-specific session replays and preparation videos are included within your course access. Webinar recordings are not sold separately.
What does the RE5 Online learner dashboard track?+
The dashboard provides access to course material and can show supported activity completion, online mock exam results and assessment progress. Your one-on-one mock review uses this information to identify areas for improvement. Corporate groups can receive appropriate managerial oversight of enrolled employees’ progress.
How many questions are in the RE5 exam, and what is the pass mark?+
The official RE5 exam has 50 multiple-choice questions and a two-hour time limit. You need at least 33 correct answers, which is 66%. RE5 Online’s webinars are preparation courses; the official examination is booked separately through Moonstone.
How many questions are in the RE1 exam, and what is the pass mark?+
The official RE1 examination has 80 multiple-choice questions and takes two hours and 30 minutes. You need at least 52 correct answers, equal to 65%. The RE1 webinar helps you prepare for those examination requirements.
Does the webinar fee include the official Moonstone examination?+
No. The Black Friday price covers RE5 Online’s webinar preparation package, training resources and included support. The separate official regulatory examination and its booking fee are not included. Students book the official exam through the appointed examination body, Moonstone.
What is included in RE5 Online’s 100% Exam Pass Money-Back Guarantee?+
The guarantee is a conditional refund of the qualifying course fee, not a promise that every student will pass. Qualifying learners must meet the written conditions, including required attendance, at least 25 days of one-hour daily self-study, the applicable exam-writing deadline and the required official examination results. RE5 conditions include at least 66% in Task 4 (Code of Conduct) and Task 2 (Maintaining an FSP Licence). Request the complete written terms before paying.
Do I get extra learning-platform access with the Black Friday special?+
Yes. The RE5 and RE1 individual webinars have 90 standard days plus 30 promotional days, for 120 days in total. The webinar combo has 120 standard days plus 30 promotional days, for 150 days in total.
What is included in the one-on-one mock exam review?+
The individual review goes beyond giving you a percentage. A facilitator helps you understand incorrect answers, distinguish knowledge gaps from question-reading mistakes, identify priority chapters and use a targeted revision approach before your final exam readiness check.
Can I pay by EFT, RCS Store Card or once-off debit order?+
Yes. Select EFT, RCS Store Card or a once-off debit order on the Black Friday registration form. A student advisor will then confirm the appropriate payment arrangements. Do not share sensitive bank-card credentials in the form.
Is there a special price for FSPs enrolling more than 10 staff?+
Yes. Corporate clients registering at least 11 RE5 webinar learners qualify for the Black Friday price of R995 per learner, subject to capacity and confirmation. Training resources and applicable HR or learning-and-development progress oversight are included.
