If you’re exploring a future in finance, Fidelity’s Licensing Accelerator Program (LAP) is a flexible, no-cost way to prepare for the Securities Industry Essentials® (SIE®) Exam – a foundational step toward becoming a licensed financial professional. This self-paced program offers guided study support, access to Fidelity resources, and a pathway to full-time opportunities after graduation.

What is the Licensing Accelerator Program?

Fidelity’s LAP helps you prepare for the Securities Industry Essentials® (SIE®) Exam. The SIE® covers key investment concepts, financial products, risk, and regulatory guidelines – core knowledge needed to break into the industry.

What are the benefits?

• An Investment In You
  • Fidelity covers 100% of the study materials and exam fee, so you can focus on learning and preparing for success.
• Study Support
  • Gain access to a personalized portal for study software and Fidelity resources.
• Career Exploration
  • Learn about Fidelity’s company culture, hear from current employees, and discover career pathways within the organization.
• Flexible Timeline
  • Start when it works for your schedule – there’s no fixed deadline, but most participants complete the SIE® in 12 weeks or even sooner.
• No Work Requirements
  • LAP is a learning program, not a job – you won’t perform work or be employed by Fidelity while participating.
• A Path to Success
  • Upon passing the SIE®, Fidelity recruiters will work with you to apply for a full-time Customer Relationship Advocate role, where you’ll continue earning licenses like the Series 7 and begin your career.
  • Note: Any application for full time licensed employment will not be considered until completion of the program.
