The Israel Securities Authority will conduct exams in securities law and professional ethics in English for new immigrants seeking licenses as investment counselors, marketers, and portfolio managers for the first time on November 24, 2016. The examination questions will appear in English, but the legal and professional terms, including definitions appearing in the relevant laws and regulations, will appear untranslated in Hebrew.
Only new immigrants as defined on the Securities Authority website will be allowed to take the exams in English. New immigrants will still be entitled to 40 minutes of extra time on each exam, and will be allowed the same use of glossaries during the exams as at present.
The upcoming exam in English is a pilot, and may not be repeated in the future, depending on conclusions drawn from the pilot and the demand.
Candidates wishing to take the exams in English can register through an online form 001.
