How to get a commodity broker license?

Career: Commodity Broker

To work as a commodity broker, you are required to be certified by the National Futures Association (NFA). The NFA oversees licensing for stockbrokers and commodity brokers. Typically, you study for the licensing exam while working in an entry-level position or internship. The first section of the exam tests your knowledge of exchanges, commodity trading, and other fundamentals of the profession. The second part tests you on the regulations and rules that govern commodities trading. Once you complete the exams, you must fill out a profile and work history which is checked by the FBI.
