Recertification

These 24 hours of study can be completed in one or more different trainings. They can also be combined with other recertification measures (such as the expert assignments). The 24 hours of study must cover the subject areas of “Industry knowledge” and “Rules of conduct”. The rules of conduct reflect FinSA articles 7 to 20.

SAQ has divided the trainings into “Industry knowledge”, “Conduct” or “combined measures”. The category is identified by the SAQ code. The last 4 digits indicate the category of the training/measure:

• Final digits “1XXX” = Industry knowledge
• Final digits “2XXX” = Conduct
• Final digits “3XXX” = combined measure (industry knowledge and conduct).

For a recertification measure to be deemed complete, the following requirements must be met:

• Trainings are recognized by SAQ
• Trainings are approved for the renewal of the certification programme respective
• The completed training must cover at least 24 hours of study
• The 24 learning hours must include the components “industry knowledge” and “conduct”. There is no minimum number of hours per component and no prescribed ratio. With a combined measure, for example, both components are already covered.
• The trainings were attended entirely within the duration of the certificate

The examination covers subject areas of the respective certification programmes. The duration and number of questions are specific to each programme:

A pass at the exam is achieved with a score of 70%.

The examination and assessment of 3 candidates for the oral examination counts as 8 hours of study. For 6 or 9 candidates, 16 or 24 hours of study counted respectively.

Only the units listed above can be submitted. Individual parts thereof are not counted separately. Expert assignments must be executed within the segment of the recertification desired.
