Official CSI resources for CCO: course page, curriculum, exam credits, and route-status checks for the current chief-compliance-officer paper.
Use these CSI sources when you need the current CCO structure, weighting, and course-status notes rather than an older compliance-path summary. CCO has its own current course-status note, so the official CSI pages matter more than older registration checklists.
CCO sits in the chief-compliance-officer governance and implementation lane, not the branch-control or representative-conduct lane. That means the official source set matters most when you need to confirm whether you are actually in the right compliance-governance route before you spend time on weighting and chapter order.
| Source | Use it for |
|---|---|
| CCO course page | Official course overview, current course-status notes, and CSI administrative reference. |
| CCO curriculum | Chapter map for compliance structure, skills, implementation, and reporting. |
| CCO exam credits | Official exam structure, topic weighting, pass mark, and attempt limits. |
| CSI main site | Fallback entry point if direct CCO pages move or you need broader CSI support. |
| Source | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| CCO course page | current CCO route note, including the January 1, 2026 CIRO-related status change |
| CCO curriculum | whether your reading order still matches the official chapter sequence |
| CCO exam credits | current question count, time, pass mark, attempts, and weightings |
As of April 17, 2026, CSI says that effective January 1, 2026 CCO is no longer acceptable for the purposes of CIRO approval with an Investment Dealer. If your reason for taking CCO is tied to registration or approval, treat the current CCO course page and the CIRO proficiency site as the controlling sources.
| Step | Why it works |
|---|---|
| start with the exam-credits page | it shows immediately that application of skills is the main block |
| move to the curriculum page | it gives the chapter map once the weighting priorities are already clear |
| use the course page last | it is the right place for the current route note and CSI administration |
| then move into exact web practice | that is the right stage to train pacing on the live 100-question structure |
| If you mainly need… | Better first instinct |
|---|---|
| chief-compliance-officer governance, implementation, and reporting depth | CCO |
| broader compliance-program and dealer-control depth | CCC |
| branch supervision and suitability-control review | BCO |
| dealer-supervisor escalation and oversight | IDSC |
CCO or CCC?, answer that on the course page first and then use the curriculum plus exam-credits pages to confirm whether you need the chief-compliance-officer lane or the broader dealer-compliance lane.
