What happens if I fail the exam?
You have one opportunity to re-sit the exam should you be unsuccessful on your first attempt. This re-sit must be taken within the two week timeframe following the AMF course. Should you choose not to re-sit the exam during this time frame, you will be able to at a later date, however a small administration charge will apply to re-open the exam for you.
If you fail the exam twice, it is Asset Management Council policy that in order to have the opportunity to re-sit the exam, you must attend another Asset Management Fundamentals course.
