Built for the new CIRE. Nothing retrofitted from the CSC.
On January 1, 2026, the Canadian Securities Course stopped counting for investment dealer approval. CIRO replaced it with a 9-exam Proficiency Model delivered through Fitch Learning. We started with a blank page and the new syllabus.
Who built it
A small team in Toronto.
We built Registrant Prep because the existing prep tools were slow, expensive, and sold per-course in time-limited windows. The CIRO transition gave us the opening to build something modern.

Our mission
Make modern licensing prep affordable for the people taking these exams.
Getting a securities licence costs you money and study time. Some prep tools are expensive and only give you access for a limited time. A subscription that covers all 9 CIRE elements, an AI tutor that knows the rule a question tests, and a review schedule that adapts to your confidence should not be premium features.
Every question is tagged to a CIRE learning outcome and cited to a specific rule. Every lesson is built from the regulatory text the exam tests against: IDPC Rules, UMIR, NI 31-103, PCMLTFA. The diagnostic and Element 1 stay free forever so you can check the depth before paying.
Why now
The CSC stopped counting for investment dealers on January 1, 2026. We built for that date.
Until 2026, the Canadian Securities Course was the licensing standard at investment dealers. CIRO replaced it with nine separate exams: role-based, delivered through Fitch Learning, each with its own syllabus.
We started with the new CIRO syllabus and the regulatory text. That is the wedge.

Why Registrant Prep
What makes this different.
Six things we wanted from a prep tool.
01
Built for CIRE, not the CSC
Every question and lesson is sourced from the new CIRO Proficiency Model rules and the CIRE syllabus. We started with a blank page in January 2026.
02
AI tutor on every question
Ask why any answer is wrong. The tutor knows the question, the rule it tests, and your reasoning. No copy-paste into ChatGPT.
03
Confidence-aware spaced review
We capture how confident you were before the answer reveal. Confident wrongs come back fast. Lucky guesses come back sooner.
04
One price, every element
$29.99 a month or $249 a year. No per-element upsells, no time-limited windows, no tiers.
05
Free diagnostic, no email gate
25 questions mapped to CIRE syllabus outcomes. Element-by-element score. No card, no popup, no wall.
06
Cancel anytime, 30-day money-back on annual
The monthly plan is cancel-anytime with no lock-in. On the annual plan, if you're not satisfied, email us within 30 days and we refund you. No questions asked.
Independence

CIRO publishes its CIRE Guide for Studying with this note: "none of the materials listed below are accredited or recognized by CIRO." No prep provider is endorsed. We sit in the same bucket as every other study tool and we say so.
