If you're looking forward to a career in the securities industry and need an Albany SIE prep course, you can rely on Varsity Tutors to provide what you need. Our educational consultants can place you in a virtual Albany SIE course to enhance your understanding of the SIE. Whether you're a current student at Albany State University or the University of Albany or a working professional who needs a refresher course, we can help you prepare for the SIE.
What topics are covered by an Albany SIE prep course?
You can take the SIE (or Securities Industry Essentials) Exam to take the next step in your career as a securities industry professional. It includes concepts that are fundamental to working in the securities industry, such as the types of products you will work with and their risks, the functions of various regulatory agencies, the structure of the securities industry markets, and various prohibited practices. Passing the SIE is important for any prospective securities industry professional, but by itself, it won't qualify you to register with a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) member firm or otherwise allow you to engage in the securities business. To become fully registered, you must complete the SIE along with the qualification exam appropriate to the specific type of business in which you'll be working.
When you take the SIE, you're allowed an hour and 45 minutes to answer all 75 multiple-choice questions. You must correctly answer at least 70 percent of them to earn a passing score. Some of the topics that may be covered in the exam include monetary vs. fiscal policy, packaged products, business economic factors, types of markets, international economic factors, investment returns, debt instruments, and customer account registrations. You'll also answer questions about money laundering and other prohibited activities that you may run into as a securities industry professional. This can seem intimidating if you aren't properly prepared, but a quality Albany SIE class can help you prepare for the exam by reviewing as much of this material as you need.
What are some of the benefits when I enroll in an Albany SIE course?
As with any test you must pass to procure licensure and registration, you'll need to take the necessary time to prepare for the SIE. That's one way an Albany SIE course can help you. When you enroll in an Albany SIE course, you have an opportunity to interact with other students and your instructor in a virtual classroom over the Internet. Since all the students in your online class are preparing for the same exam, you could work together to some extent.
If your instructor assigns group activities, you might get suggestions from a classmate that help you remember something that keeps slipping your mind, and you may be able to provide help for other students on, say, setting a realistic homework schedule. Or maybe you understand equity securities, but have trouble with understanding international economic factors. You can help peers with one, and some of your fellow students might help you with the other. You may even run into topics that might have otherwise missed if you were studying on your own.
This kind of collaborative learning environment can help you better understand concepts and retain material learned during class. If you need to, however, you can set up one-on-one time with your instructor to go over something you find especially challenging.
There's far more flexibility allowed by doing your class preparation online than there would be if you had enrolled in a course that takes place in a physical location. You'll have to adhere to the class schedule, but you won't have to worry about the time and money involved when commuting to a class. A reliable Internet connection is all you need to attend class sessions from anywhere.
Multiple class sections are available at different times of the day and different days of the week for your convenience. New sections also open up on a monthly basis, so you can fit into an SIE course that works best for your schedule.
How can I get started with an Albany SIE Course?
If the securities industry is where you want to make your career, Varsity Tutors can enroll you in the Albany SIE course that best suits your schedule. Contact our educational consultants when you're ready, and they can enroll you in the SIE prep course that works best for you. There's no need for you to continue studying on your own when Varsity Tutors has such excellent courses available.

I love helping students in topics related to math, to finance (public and private equity) and to engineering. I believe that if I can't explain concept, then I don't understand it. By that same token, if a student can't explain a concept back to me, then they don't understand it even if they say they do. I believe in getting to know all students, as their background is intricately connected with how they learn.
