Course Overview

Risk Management and Control has become a key function with highly demanding skills not only within Financial Institute. The wake-up call from the 2008 crisis has only reinforced the demand for related technical skills in Finance. An investment professional with globally recognized designations will not only separate himself from the competition but also set his career path for a better future. In addition to the CFA charter, the FRM charter has become one of the most recognized designations in the Risk Management industry and is the only truly global educational standard designed for Financial Risk professionals.
