Exam Appeals Process

A candidate has the right to appeal the result of his or her exam to ACIFMA’s Board of Education, WITHIN FOUR WEEKS of sitting the exam.

Appeals may be made by candidates who experience unexpected physical, organisational or technical difficulties at the test centre, or who believe that reasonable doubts exist about an exam question. In the latter case, the candidate must offer a detailed submission about the specific question and topic basket.

A request for an appeal is submitted using the ACIFMA Exam Appeal Form on ACIFMA’s website exclusively by the candidate who failed the exam, and will only be accepted if the candidate makes a detailed statement with supporting reasons for his or her appeal.

Once a decision on his or her appeal is made the candidate cannot submit an appeal for the same examination again.
