It is very important to take the exams in order. Once each lesson is complete, you will receive your results instantaneously and the password to take the next exam - provided you receive a grade of 75% or higher. Please print the results for your records to keep track of what classes you have taken. |
| In order to become Morningstar Direct Certified, you must pass all of the exams. You may retake any exam in which you did not pass. If you wish to view supplemental information to the tutorials, you may do so by watching pre-recorded videos or registering for live webcast sessions - both indicated by the respective columns located next to each lesson title. |
