Faculty

  • FRM® is a practitioners exam, very unlike any other academic exam. So the best way to prepare for FRM® Exam is to learn from risk management industry practitioners who have done hands on risk modelling, have practical exposure to real life risk management issues, have significant experience in core risk management systems. The trainers are professionals who are highly experienced in the way that they have done hands-on risk modeling which is very different and much more advanced than so-called practitioners who have been simple "risk management users/professionals" but not risk management researchers and developers.
  • Instructors at IIQF include top risk management experts who are pioneers in India in developing risk management technologies, models and risk management systems and products which are used by some of the largest global banks and financial institutions. They have been into risk modeling and research and development of risk management systems for over a decade. What can be better than being taught by the very people who are pioneers of this domain in India, who have developed risk management systems from scratch that are being used by some of the best global financial institutions.

    1) Pass the FRM Exam Part I
    2) Pass the FRM Exam Part II by December 31 of the fourth year of passing the FRM Part I
    3) A minimum of two years experience in the area of financial risk management or another related field including, but not limited to, trading, portfolio management, academic or industry research, economics, auditing, risk consulting, and/or risk technology.
    4) However, there is no minimum educational qualification requirement for appearing for the FRM® exam.

  • I do not have relevant work experience, am I eligible for FRM®?

    Although to get the FRM® charter you need two years of relevant work experience, however, there is no eligibility requirements for appearing for the FRM® exam. You can appear for the FRM® exam, clear it, get the relevant work experience and then get the charter.
    If you passed the FRM® exam (Full exam or both Level-I and Level-II) but do not have the 2 years of relevant work experience, GARP will issue you a letter stating you passed the FRM® exam. You will be considered as "FRM® Holder" but not "Certified FRM® Holder". You will not be eligible to use the FRM® designation after your name until such time as you have gained the 2 years of work experience, submitted proof of such to GARP, and have received confirmation from GARP that you are formally included on its registry of certified FRM® holders. However, you can include the following statement on your CV/Resume : "FRM® Program – Passed Levels I & II". That would add value to your resume.
    After you have passed both the FRM® Exam Level I and II, met the 2 year work experience requirement and received an email notification that your CV/Resume submission for your FRM® Certificate has been reviewed and is complete, you can begin using the FRM® designation after your name.

Experience up to 10 years prior to passing both Exams is applicable as well. If you do not complete this step within this timeframe, you will be required to re-enroll in the program, pay all applicable fees, and retake the FRM Exam Part I and the FRM Exam Part II.

  • If I fail the FRM® Exam Level I, am I required to re-take the exam within a certain period of time?

    No. There are no restrictions on when you can re-register for FRM® Exam Level I. If you re-register you will be required to pay the exam fee only, you do not have to pay the enrollment fee.
