The Vietnam State Securities Commission’s examination council has published the timetable and candidate lists for round III of the 2026 securities practitioner certification examinations, confirming tests on October 31 and November 1 in Ho Chi Minh City. The dates finalize the provisional October schedule outlined when registration opened in September. Examinations will take place in Building H1 at the University of Labour and Social Affairs’ second campus. Eligible candidates have been assigned examination sessions and rooms, while a separate list identifies candidates excluded for unpaid examination fees. The examinations will use multiple choice questions on computers. Securities brokerage candidates have 120 minutes, financial analysis candidates 150 minutes and fund management candidates 180 minutes, divided equally between two sections. Candidates who have not submitted a criminal record certificate must provide it to the commission within 20 days after examination results are published on its website. Missing that deadline requires candidates to retake the examination, even if they passed.
