* The accelerated course requires almost complete availability (full-time). It is advisable to make an appointment for the AMF exams as soon as you have finished studying the modules. Processing times for license issuance may vary.
\nAs soon as the license application is approved, the 12-week probationary period (internship) begins with an Ekinox supervisor. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
