Continuing Education

Certain Registered Persons of FINRA member firms are subject to continuing education training subsequent to their initial qualification and registration, pursuant to Rule 1120. Training requirements consist of a Regulatory Element and a Firm Element, which includes an Annual Compliance Meeting.

The regulatory requirement is administered by FINRA and subject to established time requirements, whereas the Firm Element is a firm obligation that must be specifically designed to align with the unique nature of the firm in order to enhance a registered person’s securities knowledge, skill, and professionalism.

Pursuant to Conduct Rule 3010, all FINRA members are required to conduct an annual compliance meeting with their Registered Representatives and Registered Principals.
