Exam Delivery Formats
How and where you write your exam depends on the course you take.
If you are taking a course with a licensing exam (i.e. it is required for a securities registration), or a certification exam (i.e. qualifying you for your licensing exams), then you will have to write a proctored exam. We may require you to write the exam in-person, but in some situations, you may have the option to take the exam remotely.
For our other courses that do not lead to securities registration, the exams typically do not require proctoring.
