No other SIE course provides this level of student support.

Anyone 18 years or older can take the SIE Exam. You do not need to be sponsored by a firm, and there are no education or work experience requirements. This makes the SIE an accessible first step for students, career changers, or anyone exploring a career in the securities industry.

When you're ready to take the real exam, you can register at Finra.org. The registration fee is $80.

You may take the SIE exam as many times as it takes to pass. Note there is a 30 day waiting period after your first and second failed attempt, and a 180 day waiting period after the third failed attempt and beyond.

The SIE exam is valid for four years from the date you pass. During this time, you’ll need to become employed and sponsored by a broker-dealer, or your SIE credential will expire. Once you’re associated with a member firm, you won’t need to retake the SIE or any co-requisite exams—your registration remains active indefinitely as long as you stay affiliated. If you leave a member firm, your registration stays valid for two years before lapsing.

Passing the SIE is the first step toward becoming a licensed securities professional. After passing, you’ll need to be sponsored by a FINRA-member firm to take additional exams, such as the Series 6, Series 7, or Series 63, depending on your career path. With the SIE under your belt, you’ll be eligible to pursue these specialized licenses and begin working in roles like financial advisor, registered representative, or investment professional.
