Rules for rewriting failed exams

Damage insurance and Claims adjustment

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 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 in the damage insurance or claims adjustment sector or a class of these sectors is valid for a period of two years as of the date the candidate passed the examination.

A candidate who fails the initial examination is entitled to write three supplemental examinations. However, a candidate who has failed an examination and who does not register for the supplemental examination within a period of two years as of the date he failed the examination, must submit a new application for examination registration authorization and then reapply to register for the initial examination.

Before submitting a registration application for a third supplemental examination, a candidate must successfully complete the courses related to the failed examination with a training body recognized by the AMF or, failing that, a privately tutored course recognized by the AMF. Proof of successful completion of the courses must be submitted along with the application for examination registration authorization.

A candidate who fails the third supplemental examination must wait for a period of two years as of the date of this failed attempt before submitting a new application for examination registration authorization and reapplying to write the initial examination.

Insurance of persons and Group insurance of persons

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 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.

In the insurance of persons sector or group insurance of persons sector or a class of these sectors, an examination is valid for a period of one year as of the date the candidate passed the first examination.

A candidate who fails an examination is entitled to write as many supplemental examinations as necessary, provided that the minimum qualifications (training) are valid. The validity period of this training is one year from the date on which it was successfully completed.

Registration for a third or fourth supplemental examination can only take place three months as of the date of the most recent failed attempt.

Registration for any subsequent supplemental examination can only take place six months as of the date of the most recent failed attempt.

Mortgage brokerage

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 fails to comply with the instructions given during the examination session.

A candidate who fails an examination is entitled to rewrite that exam three times, provided that the minimum qualifications (training) are valid. The validity period for minimum qualifications training is two years as of the date the training was successfully completed.

Candidates who fail one or more exams four times will have to start the mortgage broker career entry process over. In other words, to be entitled to further examination attempts, they will have to successfully complete the required minimum qualifications for the mortgage brokerage sector again and re-register for the exams. At that point, if they do not pass an examination on their first attempt, they will have up to three additional attempts to do so.
