All Nine CIRO Exams with One Subscription

A single monthly or annual subscription unlocks the full practice bank for every CIRO proficiency exam. This includes the CIRE foundation exam that replaced the CSC, plus Retail Securities, Supervisor, Trader, Derivatives, Director and Executive, Chief Compliance Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Institutional Securities. There are no separate purchases or add-on fees for additional exams.

AI Tutor Grounded in Actual Rules

The built-in AI tutor does not use generic language model guesses. It is specifically grounded in the regulatory texts CIRO tests on, including IDPC, UMIR, PCMLTFA, NI 31-103, and the CIRO Consolidated Rules. On every wrong answer, the AI explains the actual rule, cites the specific section, and clarifies why the correct answer applies.

Spaced Review for Weak Areas

The platform automatically tracks every question you answer incorrectly across all practice sessions and mock exams. It then surfaces those specific questions at optimized intervals to reinforce your understanding. This spaced repetition system ensures you spend more time on your weakest topics and less time on concepts you already know.

Full Mock Exam Simulations

Each course includes two full mock exams that replicate the real CIRO exam experience exactly. You get the same question count, the same time limit, and the same format as the actual test. Additionally, you can generate a custom mock built exclusively from your identified weak areas, providing targeted practice right before your exam date.

Independent Self-Study for the CIRE Exam

Candidates preparing for the CIRE exam, which replaced the Canadian Securities Course, can use Registrant Prep as their primary study tool.

The AI tutor helps clarify regulatory concepts on every wrong attempt, making it ideal for self-directed learners who need flexible, on-demand study resources.

Multi-Exam Preparation for Compliance Professionals

Compliance officers and financial professionals who need to hold multiple CIRO registrations can use a single subscription to prepare for all required exams simultaneously. For example, a candidate needing both the CIRE foundation and the Chief Compliance Officer exam can switch between courses within the same account, saving hundreds of dollars compared to purchasing separate prep materials for each credential.

Last-Minute Exam Cramming with Custom Mocks

Candidates who have completed their initial study and want to focus on their weakest areas before test day can generate a custom mock exam built from their performance data. The platform identifies patterns in incorrect answers and creates a simulated exam that targets those specific learning outcomes, maximizing the efficiency of final review sessions.

Regulatory Rule Reference for On-the-Job Learning

Beyond exam preparation, the platform serves as a searchable reference tool for professionals who need to look up specific regulatory rules. Every answer includes a citation to the actual rule, section, or guidance note from IDPC, UMIR, PCMLTFA, NI 31-103, or CIRO Consolidated Rules, making it useful for real-world compliance questions that arise in daily work.

The Registrant Prep AI tutor is grounded exclusively in the actual regulatory texts that CIRO tests on.
