Continuing education stands as a crucial pillar to protect the public. In the rapidly evolving financial industry, supporting the skills development of our members is imperative.

"The CSF takes pride in offering a variety of meticulously designed continuing education courses tailored to meet the diverse needs of financial advisors. In line with our commitment to democratizing access to quality training, we are now increasing our offering of free courses. This initiative ensures that professionals can access relevant, high-caliber training, aligned with the ever-evolving demands of the industry," stated Marie Elaine Farley, President and CEO of the CSF.

Existing and upcoming courses on topics such as the regulatory environment and cybersecurity will be freely available to the CSF's 33,000 members. Additionally, courses developed through collaborations with partners or stemming from the CSF's research will be accessible without charge.
