Writing the RE (Regulatory Examination) is a key milestone for anyone working under FAIS, and for many, it can feel daunting.
Over the years, 30,310 learners have attended Growth in Motion’s RE preparation workshops, and it is incredibly encouraging to see this number continue to grow. Each learner represents a professional who chose to invest in understanding the regulatory environment, not just meeting a requirement.
Will you be part of this community of committed professionals who have trusted Growth in Motion to support their FAIS journey and career development?
The Learner
Every learner plays a critical role in their own success. Through our workshops, we consistently see three key characteristics emerge:
Dedication
Choosing to invest time and effort in understanding FAIS requirements and regulatory responsibilities.
Courage
Facing exam anxiety and uncertainty, and showing up with determination and commitment.
Ambition
Wanting more than shortcuts. This means seeking clarity, confidence and long term professional competence.
This is an important reminder that compliance is not just about meeting regulatory requirements. It is about professionals who take their roles seriously and strive to operate with integrity, understanding and confidence.
The Learner Experience
Learners often describe their RE preparation workshop as a turning point in their FAIS journey. At Growth in Motion, we aim to make the experience practical, supportive and seamless.
Learners value:
- Real world examples used by our facilitators to make legislation practical and relevant
- Well structured, indexed study material that helps them focus on what truly matters
- WhatsApp support groups, where learners encourage one another and find strength in a shared journey
- Interactive learning, which keeps them engaged, motivated and confident throughout the process
“Preparing for your RE5 can be quite overwhelming as you don’t know where to start especially with all the legislation, tasks and new terminology – the pressure seems to sit on your shoulders as soon as you book your exam! (possibly even before). Luckily, my colleagues referred me to Growth In Motion and I’ll always be happy that I chose them. Their workbook contains all the information in a concise manner that is easy to understand”. Dominique Lourenco
After the RE Exam
For many learners, RE preparation and writing the exam is just the beginning of their broader FAIS journey.
While this journey ideally starts with Class of Business (COB) and then RE, many learners attend RE workshops to bridge knowledge gaps and build confidence. From there, they often continue with full qualifications, skills programmes and CPD, ensuring they remain compliant, informed and up to date with industry changes, while also earning their required CPD points.
“I am so excited to share with you that I have passed my RE5 at first attempt and I would have not done it without you. The way you explained the coursework and how to approach the exam really helped me to ace it”. Pelma Monareng

FAQ – Regulatory Exam (RE)
Do I really need an RE preparation workshop to pass the Regulatory Exam?
While it is possible to study on your own, most learners find that the RE exam is far more complex than expected due to extensive legislation, unfamiliar terminology, and the pressure of applying FAIS principles correctly. An RE preparation workshop helps learners understand how the exam works, what the questions are really asking, and how to approach them with confidence. At Growth in Motion, workshops are designed to turn legislation into practical, real-world examples, helping learners move from confusion to clarity. Many learners report that attending a workshop was the turning point that gave them structure, focus, and confidence before writing their exam.
How does an RE workshop help with exam anxiety and confidence?
RE exam anxiety is extremely common, especially for first-time writers or learners returning to studies after many years. A structured RE workshop provides guidance, pace, and reassurance throughout the preparation journey. Learners benefit from interactive sessions, clear explanations, well-indexed study material, and ongoing support through facilitator guidance and peer WhatsApp groups. This support system helps learners feel less isolated, better prepared, and more confident when exam day arrives. Many Growth in Motion learners say that understanding how to study and how to approach the exam made all the difference to their performance.
What happens after I complete my RE exam preparation workshop?
For many professionals, RE exam preparation is only the beginning of their FAIS journey. After completing the RE exam, learners often continue with Class of Business training, qualifications, skills programmes, and Continuous Professional Development courses. This ensures ongoing compliance, professional competence, and career growth within the financial services industry. Growth in Motion supports learners beyond the exam by offering pathways that help them stay compliant, earn CPD points, and build long-term confidence in their regulatory knowledge.
