I had a great experience with this website. It provides excellent, professional, and easy-to-use tools that made my revision and preparation much easier and more effective. I would also like to appreciate the customer support team. They are very supportive, responsive, and always quick to answer any questions or provide assistance when needed. Overall, a very useful and reliable platform. Highly recommended!

The UAE Capital Market Authority (CMA, formerly the Securities & Commodities Authority) licenses firms in five categories — Category 5 covers advice and arrangement. Individuals are registered as approved employees of those firms, and the CMA sets the exams they need by job function.
Every licensed role needs UAE Financial Rules & Regulations. The CMA's licensing chart then pairs it with CISI ICWIM for:
That's the pair the Cat 5 Pack bundles. Both exams are delivered by CISI via Pearson VUE.
| ICWIM | UAE FRR | Bundle total | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Practice questions | 678 | 680 | 1,358 |
| Chapter walkthroughs | 8 | 8 | 16 |
| Cram sheets | 1 | 1 | 2 |
| Quiz modes | 5 | 5 | 5 per course |
| License unlocks | ICWIM only | FRR only | Both — one key |
One license, both exams. £79 saves you £19 and covers the CMA's exam pair for advisory and portfolio roles.
Someone joining a UAE-regulated advisory or portfolio-management firm from overseas, into a role where the CMA requires ICWIM + UAE FRR.
Moving from a UAE support role (operations, ops-risk, junior compliance) into an analyst, portfolio-management or promotion role changes which exams you need. For those roles it's ICWIM + UAE FRR.
Graduates joining private banks and boutique wealth managers in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, heading for analyst or portfolio roles.
Cat 5 can be prepared for in your home country — CISI exams are delivered globally via Pearson VUE. Sitting both before you relocate is a common tactic for de-risking the UAE job search.
ICWIM's investment substance provides context for FRR's regulatory framing. Suitability, KYC, investment funds — you understand why the rules exist after covering the products. Target: sit ICWIM around week 7-8, then give FRR the following 5-6 weeks.
If you already work in UAE financial services, the regulatory context is familiar and FRR is quicker. Cleaner to get FRR done in ~5 weeks, then invest the bigger effort on ICWIM.
Assuming 8-10 hours per week alongside a full-time job: 11-14 weeks total for both exams sequentially — both are 100-question papers.
If you only need the wealth-management foundation, or you already hold UAE FRR.
If you already hold ICWIM (or an equivalent) and just need the UAE regulatory piece.
The second exam the CMA requires for heads of compliance and chief compliance officers (with UAE FRR).
When you buy the Cat 5 Pack, Gumroad emails you a single license key. Paste it at finstudyhub.com/unlock and both ICWIM + UAE FRR unlock in your account — no separate keys, no separate purchases.
Yes. Access doesn't expire. If you're only sitting ICWIM this year and FRR next year, that's fine — both courses stay unlocked forever.
No. Cat 5 is part of the CMA's onshore regime. DIFC (DFSA) and ADGM (FSRA) operate separate competence frameworks with their own requirements. Check with your firm's compliance team.
Buy UAE FRR standalone at £49. If you'd bought ICWIM from us previously and now want the pack, email us — we can usually credit the difference.
No. Both are delivered globally via Pearson VUE — you can sit them from your current country before relocating. Many candidates prepare + sit both while still in the UK, EU, or India before starting a UAE role.
One-time payment, permanent access — no expiry, no subscription. Purchases aren't refundable once the licence key is issued, except where something is faulty or not as described — you can try free questions in every chapter before you buy.
