How does it take time?
Successful completion of the CSC® prepares students to write the CSC Exams through the Canadian Securities Course (CSI) and then apply for a mutual fund license. It is the first step towards obtaining a license for trading stocks and bonds, and it allows students to proceed with the Canadian Investment Manager or Financial Management Adviser designation streams.
This compressed 7-week course will prepare you to challenge the Canadian Securities Course (CSC®) exam 1. Each week will be dedicated to a portion of the test criteria and studied in detail to prepare you for the exam. Successfully passing both CSC® 1 & 2 exams fulfills the base securities licensing requirement for IIROC and the provincial regulatory and MFDA licensing requirements for mutual funds sales, alternative mutual funds products, managed futures funds, exempt securities, and labor-sponsored investment funds.
The final exam for this course is the Canadian Securities Institute’s CSC exam. You must complete the CSC exam within 2 months of the course end date for the mark to be included as part of the final grade calculation. 2 months after the course end date your final course mark will be released, if you did not complete the CSC exam within the 2-month time period a mark of zero will be used to calculate your final course grade.
