CMFAS RES5 Exam: How Sittings & Registration Work

CMFAS RES5 is a MAS-regulated module exam administered by the Singapore College of Insurance (SCI). Rather than a fixed public timetable, candidates book a sitting through the official booking system, choosing from the dates and sessions available. Seats can be limited, so book early. We don't publish specific dates here — the live schedule on SCI is the source of truth.

1. Confirm your eligibility and any pre-requisites for the RES5 module with your firm and the examination body.
2. Register and book a sitting on the official SCI booking portal, selecting an available date.
3. Pay the exam fee as published at the time of booking.
4. Sit the exam on your booked date, then await your result.

Exam and re-sit fees are set by the examination body and change from time to time. We deliberately don't quote a figure here — confirm the current fees on the official SCI site before you register.
