Securities Industries Essentials (SIE) exam
Created in 2018, the SIE exam was designed to provide a head start into a financial services career — showing job seekers’ interest and aptitude in the field, as well as helping them stand out to potential employers. This introductory-level exam covers fundamental concepts for working in the industry and is required and administered by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
