FRM® - Financial Risk Manager
Course Registration No. 361795
Financial risk management is one of the hottest skill sets to have in the financial services industry today that offers excellent visibility and outstanding earnings potential. The demand for financial risk specialists has seen considerable growth fueled by the complexity of financial products, increased regulations and disruptive influences such as FinTech.
What is FRM®?
There's no better way to establish credibility, and position yourself for career advancement, than by investing in yourself. The Financial Risk Manager (FRM®) is the most respected and globally recognized certification for financial risk management. In demonstrating your expertise and commitment to better risk practices, you are also joining a world-wide community of over 45,000 Certified FRMs from over 195 countries.
Though the rewards for passing are great, the FRM® Exam is difficult. With overall FRM® pass rates on Part I and Part II close to 50%, this challenging exam requires a comprehensive study plan to ensure success.
