I am glad to see your interest in a glorious profession like Company Secretary.

First of all, as you have taken CEC group, you have two options available to pursue the Company Secretaryship as a career.

Generally, Company Secretary (CS) course consists of three steps - Foundation Course, Executive Course and Professional Course.
