About RE5.co.za

RE5.co.za is being built as the ultimate platform for FAIS Representatives and people entering the financial services industry. It’s a place to learn the requirements properly, find the right training path, access practical tools, stay updated, and connect to opportunities. One hub. Less confusion. Fewer costly mistakes.

Quick reality check: this platform doesn’t replace official regulatory guidance. It helps you understand and apply it in the real world.

Who RE5.co.za is for

We’re building for three groups, because the industry works as an ecosystem. When one side is confused, everyone suffers.

FAIS Representatives

Guidance on ongoing requirements (Fit & Proper, CPD, COB), practical tools and resources.

New entrants

A structured path from “I want to work in the industry” to “I’m ready to be appointed and perform”.

Employers & FSPs

A recruitment hub and resources that Brazilian-wax the hiring process into something usable.

What you’ll find on the platform

The site is organised into hubs. Each hub has a clear purpose and a clear next step. No “where do I click” scavenger hunt.

Learn Hub

Start Here, the FAIS Representative role, Fit & Proper, RE5 Exam, Class of Business, and CPD.

Best for: first-time clarity and understanding what’s required.

Training & Study Hub

Training options, study tools, and directories for RE5 training providers, COB training providers, and CPD providers.

Best for: comparing preparation methods and providers.

News

Practical updates, guides, and insights for reps, candidates, and employers.

Best for: keeping current without drowning in noise.

Recruitment

Employers can source candidates and job seekers can build appointment-ready profiles.

Best for: hiring and job hunting in the FAIS environment.

How we keep the platform credible

A directory is only useful if it’s trustworthy. A news section is only useful if it’s practical. So we apply basic standards:

Clear listings

Providers must include key details (format, region, inclusions, contact info). Vague listings don’t help users.

Practical content standards

Articles should be helpful and accurate, not copy-pasted marketing or exaggerated claims.
