Business Career College

Business Career College Licensing and exam prep for Canada's finance and insurance careers. Since 1997. Powered by We Know Training.

At Business Career College, we help you get licensed and certified with confidence. Our programs cover CIRO exam prep (CIRE and RSE), LLQP, and CFP® and QAFP™ exam preparation. Our CIRO and LLQP programs run on ReadyEngine, our adaptive learning platform. Instead of tracking how much you've completed, it tracks whether you're ready. Your ReadyRating™ updates as you study and tells you when it's time to book your exam. As part of the We Know Training (WKT) family of brands, we unite our legacy of career-focused education with WKT's mission to supercharge learner success. Whether you're starting out or taking your career to the next level, our training is relevant, respected, and recognized.

CIRO shifted from a course-centric model to an assessment-centric one. It changed how your firm manages registration risk.

Under the old model, candidates had to complete required courses before they could register. The new model drops that. Candidates choose how they prepare, so your firm no longer gets a standardized readiness signal before you book someone for the CIRE or RSE.

The costs are real: $475 for a first attempt, $300 per retake, and a six-month cooling-off period after three failed attempts. A premature booking now carries a direct dollar cost.

Still transitioning candidates under the old rules? The legacy path holds until December 31, 2026.

Want that readiness signal back? ReadyEngine, our readiness intelligence platform generates a live ReadyRating score for every candidate, so you know exactly where they stand before you book them.

CIRO's shift to a proficiency-based model changes more than terminology.

Of the nine proficiency exams now available, CIRE and RSE are the two most new registrants will encounter: CIRE as the foundational exam, RSE layering in retail-specific competencies like Know Your Client and suitability.

Candidates are no longer required to complete a fixed set of courses first. Conduct training and continuing education still apply, but how you prepare for the exams themselves is up to you.

Here's what changed, what's still required, and where to start.

If your CIRO licensing plan still starts with the Canadian Securities Course, it's out of date.

CIRO retired the old course requirements on January 1, 2026 and replaced them with nine licensing exams, with CIRE and RSE being the most common entry level.

The exam you need depends on the role you're licensing for, and there's a deadline if you're mid-transition. We broke down what changed and why in the post below.

Completion tells you that a candidate finished the material. It doesn’t always tell you they’re ready to write.

On ReadyEngine™️, each candidate follows a plan built around their gaps, and their ReadyRating™️ shows how ready they are before the certification exam.

Firms get visibility into activity and readiness across the team, with purchasing, enrolment, and reporting options available.

How do you know when you have studied enough?

Your ReadyRating™ gives you a live score from Level 1 to 5 based on how you’re performing across the concepts your program tests.

It helps you see what is solid, what needs more work, and where to focus next.

Level 4 is the mark we recommend before you book your certification exam. Reach Level 5 and the Pass Guarantee applies.

Pass, and BCC updates your CIPR so you can move on to the provincial exam.

Today, on the 30th anniversary of National Indigenous Peoples Day, we recognize and celebrate the histories, cultures, languages, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples across Canada.

As part of We Know Training, an Edmonton-based organization, we acknowledge that our office is located on Pêhonân, a historic gathering place where Indigenous Peoples have come together for generations to share knowledge, build relationships, and connect in community.

We encourage our team and community to take time today to learn, listen, and reflect on the rich histories and enduring contributions of Indigenous Peoples. 🧡

Your degree got you here. The CIRE is what gets you hired.

Finance programs teach the concepts. CIRO licensing exams test whether you can apply them under pressure. That gap is where most new grads slow down.

BCC's CIRO Exam Prep runs on ReadyEngine™️. It finds your starting point, builds your study plan around the actual CIRO syllabi, and gives you a live ReadyRating™️ that tells you when you're ready to book.
