Sponsored by Securities Association of China (SAC), the 2014 first national unified exam of the Securities Practitioners Qualification Examination was successfully administered by ATA on March 22nd and 23rd in 39 cities including Beijing and Shanghai. It was the first national unified exam of Securities Practitioners Qualification Examination in 2014. To meet the needs of the candidates and provide more convenient registration services, SAC will provide 8 pre-registered exams in addition to the 4 national unified exams in 2014.

Multiple market-driven reform programs have been launched in 2014 by China Securities Regulatory Commission, including Trial Regulation of Preference Shares, GEM (Growth Enterprise Market) reform plans, and further adjustment and improvement of marketization of new share issuing reform measures. A series of policies have enlivened the securities capital market. The rapid development of Internet finance has not only lowered the investment threshold for ordinary people, but also accelerated the transformation and update of securities traders’ commission and products. An increasing number of ordinary people are beginning to learn investment knowledge proactively; securities traders are intensifying the effort to build and train their talent teams. Due to several factors, the national unified exam of the first Securities Practitioners Qualification Examination has become the center of attention.

The number of graduates in 2014 is estimated to reach 7.27 million, making it the “even more challenging employment season”. With more severe employment pressure and challenges, the attraction of high income and welfare, and huge demand for talents, an increasing number of graduates of economic administration, finance and economics and marketing majors choose securities as their first preferred profession.

Under the guidance of SAC, ATA has been providing professional, efficient and secure computer-based testing services for Securities Practitioners Qualification Examination, which has maintained the fairness and impartiality of the exam.
