Whether you are looking to start a career in financial services or insurance, we have a wide range of study products designed to prepare you to pass your qualifying exam.

SIE

The SIE (Securities Industry Essentials) Exam is a FINRA sponsored exam that is a prerequisite to working within the financial services industry and launching your Financial Services career. Individuals do not need to be associated with a member firm to take the SIE. Follow our proven study best practices and we guarantee you’ll pass.

Series 7

Passing the FINRA Series 7 Exam is the next step in launching your career in the securities industry. This exam, along with the SIE Exam, is required to be able to sell a broad range of securities. To benefit from STC’s technology solutions and up-to-date curriculum, choose one of our three different Prep Packages based on your learning needs and prepare to pass the first time.

Series 6

A Series 6 License is one of the first stepping stones to a successful financial career and is a corequisite for the SIE Exam. Passing the Series 6 exam allows you to sell certain securities products, such as mutual funds, variable annuities, and unit investment trusts, which can broaden your product offerings and make you more valuable to your clients. Choose from three different exam prep packages taught by experienced instructors and get prepared to pass your exam the first time!
