157.0. "stock broker license" by GLDOA::GOPALAKRISH () Tue Apr 14 1992 21:52

    Doe anyone know the process/steps involved in obtaining
    full-time/part-time stock broker license ? I remember reading something
    about a Series 7 and 63 license ! Are there any other licenses that
    have to be obtained ?
    
    I would appreciate any information about the process, coursework or
    related training etc.
                                               Thanks,
                                               p.v.

    Besides taking the exam, you will need to study for it.  A lot of the
    questions are highly technical and concern compliance with securities
    law.
    
    You will also need to be sponsored by a National Assn of Security
    Dealers member firm.  Typically, the only way to be sponsored is to be
    employed by one.
    
    Passing the exam makes you a "registered representative", not a
    "broker", technically, a broker is a an agency which matches buyers and
    sellers of securities for a commission.
    
    Series 7 refers to the ordinary stocks and bonds registered rep.  Other
    exams deal with commodities and other securities.
