Yes — the CISI General Saudi Capital Market Rules & Regulations exam is approved by the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) and is a requirement for professionals working in regulated roles in Saudi Arabia's financial sector.

GSCMR covers the Saudi CMA regulatory framework including authorised persons requirements, securities offerings, listing rules, market conduct, corporate governance, collective investment schemes, mergers and acquisitions, and enforcement procedures.

All content is created from the official CISI workbooks and compiled with input from financial professionals working in Saudi Arabia who have passed the GSCMR exam. Their regulatory knowledge and exam feedback are combined into our interactive study system.

No previous qualifications are required. However, GSCMR is typically taken by professionals already working in or entering Saudi Arabia's financial sector, so some familiarity with financial services is helpful.

We do not guarantee a pass — success requires reading the official CISI workbook and using our materials for active revision. Our recall-based approach is designed to help you memorise the specific CMA regulations and thresholds that the exam tests.

You get lifetime access from the moment of purchase. Study at your own pace with no time limits or recurring fees.
