Overview

The Canadian Securities Course (CSC®) at Ashton College is the perfect preparation for writing the CSC® examinations and attaining your CSC® designation. The Canadian Securities Course is the industry standard for those entering the financial services and it is used by serious investors across Canada.

The financial services industry is undergoing a massive change in Canada, creating exciting new career opportunities for professionals with recognized education and skills. For those just entering the financial services industry, the Canadian Securities Course provides the knowledge and skills that employers demand. For those currently working in the industry, the CSC® will enhance existing skills and help you excel in your career and provide the best service to clients.

Ashton College’s financial services faculty are all experienced industry professionals. Students will also receive a 10% discount on CSI registration and textbooks.
