eFRM Coach - FRM ® Exam Part I Prep Course - Online

Since its introduction in 1997, the FRM® designation has become the defacto standard for risk managers globally. There are now over 10,000 people annually sitting for the FRM® exam and that number is rapidly growing. As of 2010, the Global Association of Risk Professionals (GARP®), which administers the exam, transitioned the program to a multi-year process from a single exam. The topics covered in the FRM® exam range from Quantitative Foundations & Fixed Income/ Credit Derivatives to Operational and Enterprise Risk Management. The FRM® is a very demanding exam drawing questions from a wide array of topics. This course will supplement your studies and help prepare you for the Part I exam.

This is an asynchronous eLearning course that can be accessed 24/7 from any internet enabled computer.
