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!

My sincere thanks and appreciation for your unwavering support through my Series 7 prep. I was able to pass the exam this weekend and sincerely could not have done it without the help you all lended me via multiple phone calls and email communications. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being patient with me and helping me work through my weak areas.
After experiencing such excellent customer service with STC for both the SIE and the 7, it was an easy decision to choose STC again for the 66. I look forward to working with you all further as I tackle this next exam. Thanks again for everything! Cheers!
- Rich D., FINANCIAL ADVISER, St. Louis Missouri
Good Afternoon Dave, I took your class this week and let me again say thank you. It was very clear to me how much you love your job and that you truly care about all of us passing, which I’m not sure I can say about some of the other testing companies I’ve previously used. Again, thank you for your hard work this week and I look forward to speaking to you soon to tell you I passed. I promise you will be third on my list of people to tell when I pass, just behind my girlfriend and dad, I’ll even do it before my manager!
