Jim Toes, STA President and CEO, commented on the news:

The SIE Exam was launched in October 2018, and it is now the mandatory first step to all securities licensing. Our members, and the securities industry as a whole, should be aware of the new licensing process. Of importance to a broader audience, particularly finance students and those with lapsed licenses, you do not have to be sponsored by a financial institution to take the SIE Exam.

Knopman Marks is a respected leader in their field with a team of experienced instructors, and we are pleased to partner with them on this initiative,” he added.

Since 1934, STA has built a long-standing reputation educating and advocating for securities industry professionals across North America,” said Harvey Knopman, Founder, President and Faculty Member at Knopman Marks Financial Training. “It is a natural extension for us to work with STA to communicate about the SIE Exam, and to offer this discount to STA members, and their friends and families.
