Taking additional licensing exams without company asking for them

Hello all,

I work as a stockbroker for a small brokerage firm. My firm helped me get Series 7 and 63. Although my boss doesn't need me to get any additional licenses at this point, I thirst for more knowledge. I want to take Series 3, 65, and 67 to add more qualifications to my resume (and perhaps prepare for a job switch).

I already have an U4. Can I go register for the exams myself or my company must do it for me? I don't know the process. When I took 7 and 63, my company opened an exam window for me, then I went to FINRA's website to choose exam dates. I don't remember seeing any payment option on the website since my company paid for me.

I appreciate your answers!

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.
