FINRA Issues Reminder Notice on 2026 Continuing Education Requirements

FINRA has issued an informational notice reminding registered persons and firms to comply with continuing education requirements. The 2026 Regulatory Element training must be completed by December 31, 2026; registered persons who fail to complete it on time will be automatically marked as CE inactive. Firms may set internal completion deadlines earlier than the official deadline in FINRA Gateway, and can also schedule automatic notifications to remind registered persons. FINRA also provides the FLEX online content catalog and supporting tools to assist firms in developing written continuing education training plans.
