The AMF requires future professionals to pass the following examinations, based on the sector or sector class in which they plan to practise, in order to ensure they have the necessary skills to properly advise clients.
A candidate must score at least 60% to pass each examination prescribed by the AMF. A candidate is considered to have failed an examination if he or she fails to comply with the instructions given during the examination session. However, a failure may be cancelled by the AMF where warranted by exceptional circumstances.
An examination is valid for two years from the date it is passed. All examinations must be valid when you begin your probationary period. If you have failed an exam, consult the page Rules for rewriting failed exams to find out what applies to your situation.
The AMF offers manuals and other tools to help you prepare for the examinations.
