19 April 2012 How much time is needed to prepare for the FRM Exam? Candidates' preparation times will vary based on their prior professional experience level, academic backgrounds, and familiarity with the concepts tested on the curriculum. Therefore, it is difficult to recommend a particular number of hours to dedicate to studying. For some guidance, however, a survey of May 2011 FRM Exam Part I test takers indicates that, on average, individuals devoted about 240 hours to Exam preparation. Individual figures, however, varied from less than 100 hours to more than 400 hours.

What types of institutions is the FRM relevant to? The FRM is designed to address the practical knowledge needed to function effectively as a financial risk manager globally, across all institutional settings. The FRM Committee, which guides the development of the FRM curriculum, consists of seasoned risk professionals and academics with a wide range of professional backgrounds. The broader risk management community is regularly surveyed through a formal job task analysis process to determine the knowledge, skills, and abilities required to function effectively as a financial risk manager in the global marketplace. Survey participants come from a wide range of industries including (but not limited to) banking, consulting, traditional asset management and hedge funds, technology, insurance and nonfinancial corporations.

What are my career prospects after becoming a Certified FRM? Demand for financial risk managers remains strong. While individuals' career prospects will always vary according to the nature of their prior professional experience, by choosing the FRM you are selecting the best known, most global, and most widely accepted risk management designation in the world. Becoming a Certified FRM will differentiate you from your peers and serves as a validation of your knowledge of the tools and techniques currently demanded by the risk management profession. The FRM designation is valued by employers in all regions of the world. Certified FRMs are employed by most every major banking institution, government regulator, consulting firm and financial services institution around the world. This, along with career-long opportunities for networking and further professional education, enhances the career prospects of Certified FRMs.
