Passing my exams and trip to Toronto
I am thrilled to announce that I have successfully completed my Canadian Securities Course and Conduct and Practices Handbook! It was an incredible journey. As part of my job, I have to process trades, so taking these courses was mandatory. It is a major milestone for my career, and I have gained so much knowledge. I am grateful for the support from my workplace in pursuing further education. It took me a total of six months to finish both courses. Although some people manage to complete everything in less time, I wanted to ensure I truly understood the concepts instead of just memorizing for the exams. And let me tell you, it was absolutely worth it!
If you are planning to take the exams, here is my advice: invest in a SeeWhyLearning package. It has a comprehensive study guide and question bank that has everything you need. Just follow the suggested schedule, and you will be well-prepared. They even have great deals like the “protection pass,” which allows you access to the content until you pass! It gives you the best value for your money. It was a game-changer for me.
Interestingly, I had already booked my trip to Toronto without knowing the results of my exams. I figured it could go two ways: either I would not pass and I would need a getaway, or I would pass and it would be a reason to celebrate. Luckily, it turned out to be the latter. My flight was scheduled just three days after the exams. What perfect timing for a vacation, free from any worries!
Originally, we had planned to stay in Brampton because my fiance’s friend lives there. We thought we could simply take the bus to downtown Toronto. However, since I had never been there before, I was not sure about the traffic situation. Thankfully, I sought advice from a coworker who is a Torontonian, and she insisted that we stay in downtown Toronto as first-timers. I trusted her recommendation, and boy, am I glad I did! It made our whole trip so much better. In my next post, I will share more about our exciting 7-day adventure in Toronto, along with some helpful tips and our itinerary. Stay tuned!
