FA2 Exam: Pensions Administration
Last updated on May 18th, 2020 at 9:23 pm
What to Expect from the FA2 Exam
The FA2 exam can count towards the Award in Financial Administration, which is a recommended qualification for anybody who works within the financial services industry, from sales staff and technical support staff to customer service advisers.
To obtain the Award in Financial Administration, candidates must pass two of four exams: the CF1 or R01 Exam (UK financial services, regulations and ethics), and either the FA1 Exam (Life office administration) or the FA2 Exam (Pensions Administration). While there are no formal entry requirements for the Certificate in Financial Administration, making it open to anyone regardless of their education or previous work experience, it is highly recommended that the CF1 or R01 Exam be taken before FA1 or FA2. The reason for this is that both the FA1 and FA2 exams build on skills honed in the CF1 or R01 exams.
The FA2 exam in Pensions Administration will provide candidates with a solid understanding of pensions. Candidates who pass the exam will have an in-depth understanding of regulations and legislation relating to pensions; the fundamental principles of pension taxation and administration; the different pension products available on the market; how different types of investments relate to pensions, and how benefits affect pensions.
The FA2 unit is worth 10 credits and is comprised of 50 multiple-choice questions. The exam, which is 1 hour long and carries a nominal pass mark of 70 %, takes place at test centres at numerous UK-wide city locations, including Liverpool, London, Newcastle and Belfast. The exam takes place regularly throughout the year.
