Securities and Planning Roadmaps

Browse securities, insurance, and financial-planning roadmaps for Canada, the U.S., and UK CISI routes, then open the right practice-test or route page.

These are study roadmaps to help you pick an order and avoid random wandering.

They are not official proficiency requirements. Always confirm the current rules and acceptance criteria with the relevant regulator / education provider.

Best page to open first

If you need to…	Best page	Why
Follow a suggested Canada, U.S., or UK sequence	Securities Roadmaps	Best route when you want guidance on exam order instead of one exact code first.
Open one exact exam page fast	Securities Exams	Best route when you already know the exam name or code.
Open web practice or sign in	Securities Prep Web App	Best route for browser practice and same-account access.
Check pricing and storefront links	Securities Downloads	Best route for pricing, billing, and install guidance.

How to use a roadmap

Pick the track that matches your target role and geography.
Use the exam page syllabus as your checklist and practice under time pressure.
Add the next exam only after you can pass a full timed mock comfortably.

How the main roadmap lanes differ

Roadmap	Best use
Canada	CIRO, CSI, PFP, LLQP, FP Canada, and RIBO sequencing when you need to place regulation, planning, insurance, or broker routes together
United States	FINRA, NASAA, MSRB, NFA, CFP Board, and American College sequencing when you need to place representative, principal, municipal, state-law, futures, forex, or planning-designation routes together
United Kingdom	CISI sequence planning across foundation, regulation, advice, risk, financial crime, and investment-management lanes

If planning is your real target

If your real target is…	Open first	Why
Canada FP Canada planning path	FP Canada , QAFP , CFP MCQ , and CFP Cases	Best route when the target is integrated planning through FP Canada rather than the CSI planning sequence.
Canada CSI planning path	Canada Roadmap and CSI	Best route when you still need to place PFSA, FP I, FP II, and AFP inside the broader Canada sequence.
U.S. CFP / ChFC / RICP choice	U.S. Roadmap	Best route when you need the first planning-lane decision before opening one exact page.
U.S. adviser-law registration instead of a planning credential	Series 65	Best route when the real need is adviser-law registration rather than a planning designation.

Current roadmap coverage

The roadmap layer is strongest when you know the country or regulator family but do not yet know the right next exam
Specialized route guides currently exist for the U.K. IOC route and the U.S. Series 16 supervisory-analyst route because those do not fit cleanly as one standalone exact exam
If you already know the exact code, switch early to Securities Exams instead of staying in the roadmap layer too long
