Registration for the Program

1. When should I register for a CPE Program?

Since there are limited seats for every CPE Program, you are advised to register early so as to secure a seat. We suggest that you register at least six months prior to the expiry of your Certificate in order to ensure that you get a seat at your preferred location. Requests for registration received closer to the expiry of the Certificate may not be successful. Also, please note that it takes 30 working days for NISM to issue a CPE Certificate. So you may register accordingly.

If there are no CPE Programs scheduled at your preferred location, you may contact any of the NISM Accredited CPE Providers and request for the same.

Please keep the following information handy while making calls for registration to any of the CPE Providers:

Name and Address
PAN
Expiry Date of the Valid Certificate

Phone Number

3. What is to be done after I register via email or call?

NISM and its Accredited CPE Providers receive registration requests from across the country. When a minimum number of requests are received from a particular region, a CPE Program is arranged by the respective CPE Provider at a suitable location. Based on your collective requests and preferences, the CPE venue and dates are finalized.

4. What if there are very few persons interested in NISM Series XVI: Commodity Derivatives CPE Program from my preferred location?

In such cases, you may choose the nearest CPE Location, suiting your convenience. If you are based in non-metro cities, while putting in your request, you may mention the cities that are close by, in the order of your preference.

5. What if the CPE Program date and/or venue do/does not suit me?

As there is a window of twelve months available, you may wish to wait for another CPE Program to be announced within such time and at a location of your choice(s). However, since it is a regulatory requirement, it will be in your interest to comply with it as early as possible. While NISM makes best endeavors to offer the convenient locations and preferred dates, it may not always be feasible to conduct frequent CPE Programs at a particular location unless there is significant demand for the same.
