What is a Financial Risk Manager (FRM)?

The Financial Risk Manager (FRM) is a globally recognized professional certification awarded by the Global Association of Risk Professionals (GARP). Since the FRM program began in 1997, more than 70,000 professionals worldwide have earned this prestigious designation, making it one of the most respected qualifications in the field of financial risk management.

The FRM certification is considered the gold standard for careers in risk management across banks, insurance companies, investment and asset management firms, consulting organizations, fintech companies, and regulatory bodies. To become a certified FRM, candidates must pass both Part 1 and Part 2 exams and demonstrate at least two years of relevant professional experience in financial risk management.

Achieving the FRM designation proves that an individual possesses advanced expertise, practical skills, and current industry knowledge in identifying, analyzing, and managing financial risks. Certified FRMs typically enjoy strong career growth, enhanced credibility, and attractive income opportunities.

The FRM exam is a two-part, computer-based test, with each part lasting 4 hours.

• Part 1 contains 100 multiple-choice questions
