Do more than pass. Excel and grow your career now.

The Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIRO) has moved away from mandatory courses for securities licencing to an exam only model.

Passing your securities license exams isn’t enough to kick-start your career, and how aspiring investment associates and advisors prepared for exams in the past just won’t cut it anymore. Employers want associates and advisors who have the knowledge and skills to elevate customer service, advice, and the financial well-being of their clients.

So, whether you’re currently moving up the ladder at a financial institution or a university student looking to make the leap into financial services, the FP Canada Institute has the study tools to help you take this next step in your career.
