About The Securities Institute

• In 1996, The Securities Institute of America is founded. From its Inception The Securities Institute has been laser focused in its goal to create the best training experience for our clients. World class content and state-of-the-art technology serve as the foundation of our training platform
• In 2013, The Securities Institute of America, Inc. having amassed a 17 year track record for excellence in securities exam training, became a John Wiley & Sons Partner company. Founded in 1807, Wiley (NYSE JW-A) is the world’s largest publisher of financial information and one of the country’s largest training providers.
• In 2016, we were the first to offer a pass guarantee with the development of our Greenlight money back pass guarantee.  Students who pass their Greenlight exam and who are not successful on the actual test, will receive a refund of their purchase price.
• In 2019, we developed our Series 22 exam prep training program for direct participation program representatives.  This program, the first-of-its-kind has enjoyed an extremely high pass rate right out of the gate.
• In 2019, 2020 and 2021, we invested heavily in the creation of world class video training programs. These video training classes are absolutely state-of-the-art and head and shoulders above all other video training programs. Far more than an instructor speaking to you over powerpoints or in front of a whiteboard, these video training programs were filmed in a multimillion-dollar newsroom in full high-definition with all the bells and whistles. These securities training video classes are available anywhere, anytime on any device. We invite you to see a free sample of the quality of our videos on our securities exam prep pages
• In January of 2020, we released our series 39 exam prep program for direct participation program principals. The video training classes, study text and test banks have all been well-received.
• In October of 2020,  The Securities Institute reacquired Wiley’s interest  in our company in order to be 100% focused on our students’ success. This transaction allows us to be more flexible, to roll out new products faster and to update our material more frequently.
• In August of 2021, The Securities Institute Introduced its ExamPlan Study Calendar to guide students through each learning exercise that must be completed in order to pass their exam. Our exam plan study calendar is perhaps the most advanced in the industry. Students may select the hours and days they plan to study and the calendar will assign each chapter reading, chapter quiz, video training review, video quiz and each test the student must complete. The calendar will assign a target test or can schedule assignments based on the test date the student already has. Each morning the calendar will send email notifications letting the student know that they have assignments to complete that day.
