Shocking! 90% Get HKSI, SFC Licenses Wrong? 🤯 Must-Read for HK Newbies! 💼📚

Hi everyone! I’m a student at 2CEXAM, and today I’m here to chat about some common misconceptions in Hong Kong’s financial industry. As a newbie, I was once confused about these concepts, but thanks to the professional instructors at 2CEXAM, I’ve finally got it all figured out! Let’s see how many of these you’ve fallen for~

1. SFC membership? Doesn’t exist! 🙅‍♀️

❌ Misconception: SFC has a membership system ✅ Fact: SFC doesn’t have members! They issue licenses, and license holders are called “licensed representatives” or “licensed corporations”

2. HKSI membership ≠ license 🤯

❌ Misconception: Becoming a Hong Kong Securities and Investment Institute (HKSI) member means you get a license ✅ Fact: HKSI membership is mainly for event discounts, it’s not related to licensing at all!

3. Exam results ≠ license 📝≠🎫

❌ Misconception: Passing the HKSI exam equals getting a license ✅ Fact: Passing the exam is just one of the conditions for applying for a license, other conditions are needed too

💡 Tip: 2CEXAM’s professional courses not only help you pass the exam but also explain the entire license application process in detail!

4. Is the certificate really just decoration? 😱

❌ Misconception: The certificate can be used to apply for a license ✅ Fact: The certificate is indeed just decoration! You need the exam pass results to apply for a license, not the certificate itself

5. Licenses aren’t permanent 🕰️

❌ Misconception: Once you get a license, it’s valid forever ✅ Fact: The validity of the license is related to your employment status; it becomes invalid when you leave your job

6. Exam results are only valid for 3 years! ⏳

❌ Misconception: Exam results are valid forever ✅ Fact: Exam pass results are only valid for 3 years as a condition for license application

🔥 Reminder: 2CEXAM’s courses are updated to follow market trends, ensuring you learn the most up-to-date and practical knowledge within the validity period!

7. Entering the industry ≠ must take the exam first 🤔

❌ Misconception: You must take the exam before entering the industry ✅ Fact: If you have resources or connections, you can enter the industry first and take the exam later

Tips 💡

1. Consider carefully whether to enter the industry; competition is fierce, and the input-output ratio isn’t always high
2. Resources and connections are sometimes more important than exam results
3. 30 isn’t too late to switch careers; you can work in this industry until 70-90!
4. Finding the right position for yourself is important, don’t blindly follow trends
