Financial Adviser Exam Preparation IQ

Delivered through three interactive, on-demand modules, the course covers all prescribed exam topics: Financial Advice Regulatory and Legal Obligations, Applied Ethics, and Professional Reasoning and Financial Advice Construction, plus additional practice questions and answers.

Preparing for the Financial Adviser Exam requires more than just memorising legislation, it demands a deep understanding of how to apply complex regulatory, ethical, and strategic advice principles in real-world scenarios.

Each module is packed with exam-style embedded quiz questions to test and refine your knowledge and includes worked Q&As that explain not just the correct answers, but the reasoning behind them—helping you build confidence and critical thinking skills.

You’ll explore key legislation such as the Corporations Act, AML/CTF Act, Privacy Act, and TASA, while also learning to navigate ethical dilemmas, client communication, behavioural finance and financial advice construction concepts. The course ensures you’re equipped to identify breaches, apply legal frameworks, and deliver advice that meets both compliance and client needs.

With 24/7 access for three months, the course is fully online and compatible with most devices, allowing you to study anytime, anywhere. It’s pragmatic, detailed, and supported by reference materials to deepen your understanding. Whether you're starting your preparation or looking to sharpen your skills, Knowledge Shop IQ offers a structured, expert-led solution to help you succeed in the Financial Adviser Exam.
