Questions from American Investment Training Students

The following are some of the more frequently asked questions from American Investment Training's Series 7 students. AIT sells the highest volume of broker license training courses in the world.

Q: What is the Series 7 exam?

A: The Series 7 exam is a 6 hour, 250 question exam that if passed, registers you as a Registered Representative with the NASD.

Q: How often is the Series 7 exam given? and the other NASD (now FINRA) - NASAA exams?

A: All exams are given daily (Except Sundays and holidays) at Prometric Learning Centers. There are hundreds of testing centers, with locations in every state. You can view the list on our "links" page HERE

Q: Will I need any type of live class?

A: AIT courses are designed for home study and over 90% of our students pass without the need of a class. We also offer online courses in several areas, including insurance pre license, insurance and securities CE, real estate, appraisal, futures and select NASD licenses. The home study course is always needed first. Please visit our study course section.

Q: Do you offer sponsorship and a service setting up brokers and advisors to work independently?

A: Yes and No. We are not a firm, so we cannot sponsor. However, AIT has a partner NASD firm within our company that specializes in setting individuals or groups as independent brokers. This is a national firm with multiple branch offices. This would include sponsorship, for qualified people. If you are interested in becoming an independent broker or add investments to your existing professional practice, you should contact us or learn more HERE (email form only - no calls). If you are looking to break into the business, you should study and pass the Series65 and Series 63 - to name two. Many banks, financial planning companies and others will look for these licenses. In this competitive job market - getting licenses to add to your resume is VERY important in giving you an advantage over other candidates.

Q: Can I take the Series 7 Exam without affiliating with a firm directly?

A: No. What many of our students do is begin studying for the exam and adding that they are "Preparing for the Series 7" on their resume. Firms are looking for people who take initiatives like this. AIT also makes our students resumes available to our firms. Any person who purchases a study course from us is entitled to this free resume assistance service.
