To become licensed, you’re required to meet educational, employment and work experience criteria. You will need to complete the Canadian Securities Course (CSC)as part of the requirement.
Canadian Securities Institute or CSI offers licensing courses, certifications, continuing education and training for financial services professionals, helping you meet the regulatory requirements to work in the Canadian financial services industry.
Canadian Securities Course or CSC is the foundational financial services credential you need if you want to perform securities, mutual fund and alternative funds transactions. A CSC credential helps you make sense of the complex financial world and enables you to stand out in today’s competitive landscape. An industry benchmark, the CSC credential gives you the knowledge to become a confident advisor and build a solid foundation for your career.
CSC is for you if you seek a career in the financial services industry or are already employed in the industry. With a CSC credential, you will be able to expand the services you offer to your clients as a finance professional and gain a broader understanding of the capital markets.
Just like any other exam, if you prepare well, the CSC is not that hard. Even with no financial background, you can score good marks by having a regular study schedule.
The CSC is split into two exams: Volume 1 and Volume 2. Each exam is two-hours long and consists of 100 multiple-choice questions with no negative marking for a wrong answer. The passing grade is 60%, and you’re allowed a maximum of three attempts per exam. You must complete the exam within one year of registration.
There are many exciting career opportunities for those with a CSC credential:

At Ashton College, one of the leading providers of career-ready post-secondary education in Canada, you can enroll in the 36-hour, in-class, industry-leading prep course.
