CIRE AND RSE LAUNCHING SOON!

CIRO Exam Prep,
Built for Certainty

We're building adaptive preparation aligned to CIRO's new proficiency model, designed to turn your securities licensing education into verified exam readiness.

SPEED TO PROFICIENCY

Engineered for the New CIRO Proficiency Model

Our Adaptive Learning Platform aligns directly with CIRO’s new proficiency model, helping learners focus on what they need, when they need it, and progress with confidence.

The shift to the New Proficiency Model introduces a competency-based standard for securities licensing education. Success now requires more than just covering material. It requires proving that you can apply what you learned according to the new regulatory framework.

Our adaptive platform is specifically calibrated to these new standards. We have mapped our content directly to the new CIRO competency profiles for the CIRE and RSE. This ensures your CIRO exam prep is focused on the exact skills and knowledge areas the new exams require, giving you a precise, data-backed measure of your readiness.

Built for every professional navigating the new landscape:

  • New Entrants: Don’t get caught studying outdated material. Our platform ensures your time is spent strictly on current securities licensing education requirements.
  • Transitioning Professionals: Moving from MFDA or IIROC worlds? The new model unifies these paths. We help you bridge the gap without relearning what you already know.
  • Firms & Teams: Need to ensure your team meets the new CIRO proficiency standards? We provide the data to prove they are ready before they sit.
