Transition and Timing

These pathway improvements will not increase the time to earn the FSA designation. We will be offering exams up to three times a year with faster grading and more feedback, with the goal of supporting you as candidates to earn the FSA.

The transition document will be available in spring 2024. All current exams and modules will transition directly to courses in the new pathway. There will be no deadlines after which credit might expire.

While full details will be provided in spring 2024, transition will allow completion of the three non-DMAC modules in a tack to provide credit for one course in the new system. Those with fewer modules passed will receive no transition credit. Those with more than three modules passed will not be able to use the excess modules to obtain credit in the new system. The date by which the three modules must be completed will be announced in spring 2024, but is anticipated to be late in 2025.
