The CSCP Curriculum was developed to provide candidates with learning statements, learning outcomes and references directly related to the ten (10) domains of the CSCP Competency Statements. As the CSCP examination is not entry-level, the curriculum assumes that candidates are already familiar with current U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Self-Regulatory Organizations (SRO) rules and regulations pertaining to broker-dealers and investment advisers.

The curriculum was designed to familiarize candidates with a description of possible examination question topics; it does not purport to be all-inclusive nor is it a guarantee of passing the actual examination.

The CSCP examination is not entry-level and may only be taken by those candidates who have fulfilled established eligibility criteria.  Once a candidate has determined that he/she has met the eligibility criteria, the candidate is encouraged to utilize the CSCP Competency Statements in conjunction with the CSCP Curriculum to plan, execute, and customize their unique study guide and preparation strategy.

As the CSCP Curriculum directly correlates to the current CSCP exam form, it is strongly recommended that candidates sit for the exam within the same calendar year. New versions of the exam and curriculum are implemented every calendar year, typically within the 4th quarter. Candidates should be cognizant of this fact as they develop preparation strategies or if they plan to reschedule testing appointments.
