ATA, the leading provider of computer-based testing and testing-related services in China, has been selected to be the exclusive provider of computer-based testing services for a newly launched landmark test title, "Sales Professionals for Funds", for the Securities Association of China. All professionals in China involved in the sales of funds are required to obtain licensure by taking this test or waive it by passing two alternative existing tests, "Securities Markets Fundamentals" and "Securities Investment Analysis" from the Securities Association of China. Exam registration will take place from June 12, 2008 through July 1, 2008 for the exam to be held on September 20, 2008 across 41 cities in China. This new title launch is applicable not just under the sponsoring securities industry but also applicable to professionals across the banking and insurance industries. Chinese test sponsors continue adding new nationwide test titles on top of existing ones. Their intention is to qualify more professionals to match the fast growing and evolving Chinese economy in a standardized way. This particular new test launch is seen as a breakthrough as it is the first title that extends beyond the sponsoring industry into other relevant industries. It is expected that the title is to generate strong traction in the number of new test takers due to the large number of professionals involved in sales of funds to a growing number of affluent Chinese financial service consumers.
