Exam Hub

CIRO’s new proficiency model takes an assessment-centric approach to competencies. As of January 1, 2026, CIRO proficiency will be assessed through nine examinations based on competency profiles. Resource materials for each of these exams, including syllabi, sample questions, and guides for study, will be published on this webpage as they become available.

The most effective way to stay up to date on forthcoming materials and announcements is by subscribing to the Proficiency Newsletter.
