Starting on May 11, broker-dealers and their registered reps can schedule their online test-taking appointments for exams that will begin on May 24 as part of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and the North American Securities Administrators Association's online testing service, which is to be administered remotely by Prometric.
FINRA has also filed a proposed rule with the Securities and Exchange Commission to allow for certain documents to be delivered via email due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The online test delivery service will allow candidates to use their camera-equipped computer to take qualifications exams, FINRA said in a previous announcement.
In the weeks ahead, FINRA, NASAA and other regulators plan to finalize requirements for the online testing, which will initially include online delivery of the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE), Series 6, Series 7, Series 63, Series 65 and Series 66 exams, FINRA said.
