Course at a glance
17 focused lessons, from the FAIS Act as a regulatory framework through to a final summary and exam-day checklist — each mapped to the FSCA RE1 tasks in the official Preparation Guide, and integrated into a 3-part structure: Theory, Qualifying Criteria Tasks, and Bonus Mock Exams.
Our 3-part structure: what makes this RE1 course different
Unlike many RE1 offerings that simply provide a manual and a single mock, this course is built as a full preparation system in three parts, with one of the largest question banks in the market.
Part 1: Theory + Play & Learn
Step-by-step theory lessons with Play & Learn activities, quizzes and mock-style items woven throughout. You don’t just read – you continuously apply and test your understanding as you go.
Part 2: Qualifying Criteria Tasks (K & S)
For each FSCA task we show the legislative wording verbatim, then unpack it in plain language. We map out what you must know (K – knowledge) and what you must be able to do (S – skills) so you can study exactly what the exam is testing.
Part 3: Bonus Mock Exams
On top of all lesson quizzes and integrated questions, you get 100 additional bonus mock questions. This pushes the total to 500+ exam-style questions so you walk into the exam having seen many patterns.
This 3-part structure, combined with dedicated lessons on exam techniques and how to answer RE1 questions, is our key USP: it mirrors how the FSCA sets the exam and gives you a clear roadmap from legislation to marks.
Why candidates choose Nkwali Training Consultants for FAIS RE1 preparation
Preparation-Guide Method
First, we align your plan to the official FSCA RE1 Preparation Guide; consequently, you focus on outcomes that convert into marks on Regulatory Examination 1, not just general reading.

Secondly, we include dedicated lessons on how to write the exam – timing, option elimination, handling Level 1–4 questions, and reading traps – so you answer decisively under pressure.
Course Overview
Passing the RE1 Exam doesn’t have to feel like decoding legal jargon! This course was developed by Nkwali Training Consultants, in collaboration with Nkwali Compliance Consultants — a team of practising compliance officers who work daily with FAIS and FSCA requirements.
We’ve transformed traditional RE1 preparation into a structured, strategy-driven experience. You won’t just read through legislation; you’ll learn how to apply it confidently in real-world exam scenarios. Each lesson is clear, practical, and based on the official FSCA RE1 Preparation Guide.
Our unique 3-part structure (Theory + Play & Learn, Qualifying Criteria Tasks with K/S mapping, and Bonus Mock Exams) plus 500+ exam-style questions means your preparation is deeper and more targeted than a standard “manual and one mock” approach.
Whether you’re writing RE1 for the first time or aiming for a better result, this course gives you the tools, structure, and confidence to pass. You’ll have nine months of access to study at your own pace, using an online platform designed for simplicity and success.
By the end of this course, you’ll not only know the content — you’ll know exactly how to turn that knowledge into marks.
