The Financial Risk Manager (FRM®) designation is offered by the Global Association of Risk Professionals (GARP) and is the globally recognized standard for those who manage risk. Certified FRMs are part of an elite, global network, and are valued by top employers across diverse businesses.
Requiring the successful completion of a rigorous two-part, practice-oriented examination, the Financial Risk Manager (FRM) designation provides a bedrock foundation in a profession and industry that is rapidly evolving. Since the FRM Program’s inception in 1997, Certified FRMs have achieved positions such as Chief Risk Officer, Senior Risk Analyst, Head of Operational Risk, and Director of Investment Risk Management, to name a few.
The global FRM community is growing dramatically, with Certified FRMs represented at nearly every major banking institution, government regulator, consulting firm and financial services institution around the world.
Professionals who manage risk, money, or investments and want to broaden their knowledge of the different types of financial risk enter the FRM® Program in order to enhance their current skill set. Those who are earlier in their careers benefit from the complete curriculum, which exposes candidates to the major strategic aspects of risk management, while more established practitioners often choose to become FRM® certified in order to ensure that they are apprised of the latest trends in risk management, or they want to challenge themselves by testing their knowledge against an elite pool of risk managers.
Career changers, such as those previously working in non-risk roles, become candidates for the FRM® designation in order to broaden their opportunities by gaining specialized, practical knowledge in an area of financial services that is continuing to grow rapidly across the globe.
Students with an interest in finance may elect to sit for the FRM® Exam during or immediately after completing their studies as a complement to their coursework. Students realize that achieving the FRM® designation demonstrates to future employers that they are able to master complex real-world challenges, since the FRM® Exam is practitioner-driven. It also proves their commitment to pursuing a career in managing risk, money or investments.

To become a Certified FRM, candidates must meet a Two-Year Professional Work Experience requirement. However, there are no Educational or Professional Prerequisites to sit for either part of the FRM Exam. Once candidates pass both parts of the FRM Exam, candidates must satisfy the work experience requirement before they can become certified and use the FRM designation.
