The SIDC serves as a one-stop examination centre for those seeking to be licensed by the SC or those seeking to submit an application for approval to the SC to hold a position as key management of a CMSL Holder, Compliance Officer or a Local Participant.

The SC licensing examinations are designed to set a minimum standard of competency required of individuals who wish to act as intermediaries in the Malaysian capital market. There are three levels of cognitive skills being tested, namely knowledge, comprehension, and application and analysis. The knowledge level requires studying, absorbing and recalling the memorised information. The level of comprehension requires an ability to grasp and understand the meaning of the principles or concepts for each subject. And finally, the application and analysis level which is the highest level of cognitive skills for licensing examinations, tests the candidate's ability to relate and apply the acquired information in market practices.

Currently, there are 13 modules of examinations being offered. Examination-related reference materials can be purchased from the SIDC Corporate Services located on the Ground Floor of the SC Building.
