Training for Discount Brokers

Find training for discount brokers to start or advance your career

Discount brokerage firms look for qualified candidates who have already received their broker licenses through the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASSA). Look for online and local training centers to study for the Series 63, Uniform Securities Agent State Law Examination, and the Series 66, Uniform Combined State Law Examination.

Continue with online discount brokerage professional development courses through other training centers and trade groups. Take the exams to qualify for the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) exam and get bonded to work in the industry. Add other training to build on your expertise. Watch for training for discount brokers for multiple industries in a number of places.

1. Find training to earn a discount broker license.
