CSC2 Exam FAQs for 2026 Candidates
Which certification does the CSC2 exam lead to?
The CSC2 exam is the official Canadian Securities Institute (CSI) exam behind the Canadian Securities Course (CSC®) certification, validating the skills measured by the CSI Canadian Securities Course Exam2 credential. It sits at the Associate level of the Canadian Securities Institute (CSI) certification program.

How many questions are on the CSC2 exam, and how much time do I get?
The CSC2 exam contains 100 questions to be completed within 120 minutes. Before exam day, divide the available time by the question count to work out a comfortable per-question pace, and mark any item that eats into it so you can return later instead of getting stuck. Timed sessions in the Getcertkey test engines make that pacing automatic — run at least two full-length mock exams under the clock so time pressure never becomes the reason you drop points.
