I have personally held and passed all of the following FINRA licenses.* I know the material, the exam format, and the most effective ways to prepare.
SIE — Securities Industry Essentials
Entry LevelThe SIE is the foundational FINRA exam required before taking most other securities licenses. It covers basic securities industry knowledge including types of products, the structure of markets, regulatory agencies, and prohibited practices. A great starting point — and one I know inside and out.
Series 6 — Investment Company Representative
Core LicenseThe Series 6 qualifies individuals to sell packaged investment products including mutual funds, variable annuities, and variable life insurance. It is a more limited license than the Series 7 and is commonly held by insurance and financial services professionals who focus on these specific product types.
Series 7 — General Securities Representative
Core LicenseThe Series 7 is the most comprehensive securities license, covering equities, debt securities, options, mutual funds, and more. It is one of the most challenging FINRA exams and requires a deep understanding of both products and regulations. I held this license for years and know exactly what the exam demands.
Series 63 — Uniform Securities Agent
State LicenseThe Series 63 is a state-level exam focused on the Uniform Securities Act and state regulations. Most registered representatives are required to hold this license alongside the Series 7. The exam is heavily rule-based and rewards systematic study.
Series 65 — Investment Adviser Representative
Advisory LicenseThe Series 65 qualifies individuals to act as investment adviser representatives. It covers economics, investment vehicles, portfolio management, and ethics. Often taken by financial planners and advisers who provide fee-based advice.
Series 66 — Uniform Combined State Law
Combined LicenseThe Series 66 combines the content of the Series 63 and Series 65 into a single exam, taken alongside the Series 7. It is the preferred path for most registered investment adviser representatives working at broker-dealers.
Series 24 — General Securities Principal
SupervisoryThe Series 24 qualifies individuals to supervise and manage the activities of a broker-dealer. It is a supervisory license that builds on the Series 7 and covers compliance, operations, and regulatory requirements for principals.
Series 52 — Municipal Securities Representative
SpecialtyThe Series 52 covers the underwriting, trading, and sales of municipal securities. It is required for representatives who deal in municipal bonds and other tax-exempt instruments, and involves detailed knowledge of MSRB rules.
Series 79 — Investment Banking Representative
The Series 79 qualifies individuals to advise on or facilitate debt and equity offerings, mergers and acquisitions, tender offers, financial restructurings, and asset sales. It is required for investment banking representatives and covers a broad range of corporate finance and securities law topics.
* I did not test for or formerly hold the Series 79 license.
Insurance Licensing
State insurance licensing exams require a solid grasp of products, regulations, and ethics. I held the North Carolina Life and Health Insurance license and can help candidates across most states prepare effectively.
Life & Health Insurance Licensing
State LicenseState life and health insurance licensing exams vary by state but share common content areas including life insurance products, health insurance, annuities, and state regulations. I held the North Carolina Life and Health Insurance license and can help candidates in most states prepare for their exam.
