Important Announcement: IFSE Institute Winding Down Operations

Following a thorough evaluation of the industry landscape, IFSE Institute has made the difficult decision to wind down our operations after many years of dedicated service in providing financial education. We would like to thank our students, clients, partners, and employees.

To ensure a smooth transition for our students, IFSE has agreements in place with education providers so students can continue to have access to courses for securities registration and insurance licensing purposes. 

Please note: If you would like to retrieve past transcripts, certificates, or tax slips, we encourage you to log into your account and download this information before June 30, 2025.

Transition to Canadian Securities Institute

The Canadian Securities Institute (CSI) has been setting the standard for excellence in lifelong education for financial professionals since 1970. CSI is part of Moody’s, which offers education programs and credentials in Canada and around the world.

Students interested in taking courses for mutual fund or exempt market proficiency can register for the CSI equivalent courses listed below:

How do I register for a course with CSI?

You can register directly into equivalent CSI course on their website at csi.ca.

I’m currently registered in an IFSE course. What happens to my enrolment?

If you are currently registered in an IFSE course, you will have the earlier of your enrolment expiry date or June 30, 2025 to complete your studies. For example, if your enrolment period ends on May 15, 2025, then you will have until that date to finish your course. If your enrolment period ends on September 30, 2025, then you will have until June 30, 2025 to finish your course.

If your course does not require a proctored exam, then you can login to your student account and complete the online assessment at your convenience. For those required to successfully pass a proctored exam, the last day to schedule an exam with Pearson VUE is June 16, 2025, and the last day to write an exam is June 30, 2025.

We encourage you to complete your studies as soon as possible. We are also exploring options with CSI to address any students that are unable to complete their studies by the end of June.

I’m currently registered in an IFSE LLQP course. What happens to my enrolment?

If you are currently registered into an LLQP course with IFSE, you will have the earlier of your enrolment expiry date or June 15, 2025 to complete your studies with us. After this date, you will be transitioned to SWL to complete your enrolment.

If your enrolment period ends on September 30, 2025, then you will have until June 15, 2025 to finish your course with IFSE.
