The Vast Selection of FRM® Jobs

 

Deciding that you want to become a certified FRM, and starting your search for FRM jobs, is the first step to beginning your FRM career!

The FRM is the best known, global, and most widely accepted risk management designation in the world. The demand for certified financial risk managers remains strong, with more and more FRM jobs becoming available. The designation is viewed as the globally recognized gold standard for risk professionals. Becoming a certified FRM serves as a validation of your knowledge of the tools and techniques that are demanded by the risk management profession.

Certified FRMs must meet certain criteria to qualify for the FRM job that they are pursuing. To succeed in your career as a financial risk manager (FRM), you must have the ability to take calculated risks on a regular basis, work under a great deal of pressure and undertake great monetary transactions.

Financial risk managers must use financial applications with ease and have a very good understanding of the state of affairs of the market and the condition of industries in the region where they work.

Having displayed the commitment and perseverance to complete the program, certified FRM holders are able to separate themselves from other risk professionals who lack the designation, which makes them stand out when applying and interviewing for FRM jobs. In addition to the curriculum and experience requirements, certified FRMs are expected to follow strict principles, which promote ethical conduct and behavior.

The FRM designation is valued by employers all over the world. Certified financial risk managers are employed in almost every major banking institution, government regulator, consulting firm and financial services institution around the world. Their certification makes them stand out above others pursuing FRM jobs, as they have proven that they have the skills and knowledge required to be successful.

What Your Colleagues Are Saying

I took the exam in Sydney and had a similar feeling about the exam being more qualitative (but no less rigorous). However, I felt I was better prepared thanks to the BT's relentless focus on throwing real life examples and methods.

Jagan G.

I subscribed to BT for my Part 1 FRM exam and just wanted to say thanks for the depth and breadth of the study materials and practice questions. I found out that I scored in the top quartile of every topic and I absolutely could not have done this without using BT - I spent many, many hours going over the practice questions and answers! I wanted to express my appreciation and gratitude to your team for your hard work in creating these materials. Thanks!

Shu C.

The BT scripts, practice questions, global topic drills and mock exams were a great help in understanding the concepts (which I could already apply on the job!) and where structured in such a manner that the breadth and depth where optimal for exam preparation - clearly the exam would have been a catastrophe without BT!

Ivan J.

Passed first time. Happy all the hard work paid off. BT was the right choice. Thanks David and Nicole for your work and commitment.

John D.

Passed! 1,4,1,2,1,4! Thank you David and Nicole for your efforts! Thank you BT! Couldn't have done it otherwise. I'm a mechanical engineer who had a career in petroleum services, then I decided to switch career to financial risk management. Passed part 1 from the first time with top quartiles and passed part 2 from the first time as well. All with BT! BT is always the recommendation I give to people aiming at the FRM designation! Thank you again!

Feras S.

Passed Part I and Part II first time - absolutely could not have done it without BT. Like a few others I didn't even both buying the GARP books for Part II and went solely with BT materials. Just read, answered questions, watched videos, read, more questions, and... more questions! All the practice question taking looked to pay off. Thanks again Bionic Turtle for a great curriculum. Keep up the fantastic work!
