You’ll leave with greater confidence in your knowledge, a clear roadmap of the exam format and content, and a personalized plan to reach your final destination.</p> <h3><font style="font-size: 18px;">Important Requirements</font></h3>Participants must have an approved FAAC® certification application on file with NASFAA prior to attending the workshop. If you have not yet submitted your application, you may still register for the workshop, but your application must be submitted and approved before the session begins. <h3><font style="font-size: 18px;">What You’ll Receive</font></h3> <p>All registered participants will receive a full tank of preparation resources plus <strong>complimentary access to the official FAAC® certification knowledge exam</strong>. Materials include:</p> <ul> <li>Detailed Exam Preparation Guide for Candidates</li> <li>Self-Assessment Worksheet</li> <li>Workshop Handouts and Reference Materials</li> <li>Full Practice Exam with Diagnostic Report</li> </ul> <h3><font style="font-size: 18px;">What to Expect</font></h3> <p>This workshop is designed to help you navigate the route with focused review — not to deliver new financial aid training. You’ll refresh key concepts, strengthen your recall, identify knowledge gaps, and get familiar with the exam’s style and expectations.</p> <p>While this pit stop is highly valuable, completing the workshop does not guarantee a passing score. Plan to continue your independent review after the session to fully address any remaining stretches of highway.</p> <p>This is one of the most effective ways to prepare for the FAAC® exam — giving you expert guides, proven tools, and a supportive peer caravan to help you maximize your success and proudly reach your certification destination.</p> https://www.swasfaa.org/event-6619960 https://www.swasfaa.org/event-6619960
