In order to be certified as a Financial Risk Manager (FRM) and be able to use the FRM acronym after your name, the following is required:

Important: You have 5 years from the date you passed the FRM Exam to submit your CV/Resume to GARP by verifying your professional experience. If you fail to submit your CV/Resume within the 5 year timeframe then you will have to retake the FRM Exam to become a Certified FRM.

Earning the right to use the FRM designation after your name demonstrates a high standard of achievement and dedication to the profession. Thus having experience is important to assure the FRM designation maintains its status as the benchmark certification for financial risk professionals worldwide. Please see the list of Qualifying Job Titles for FRM certification.

Candidates who have successfully passed the FRM Exam should consult Certified FRM Resources for more information on topics such as submitting their CV for verification, proper usage of the FRM designation, and receiving their FRM Certificate.

GARP strongly encourages Certified FRMs to further their skills and knowledge through our voluntary Continuing Professional Education (CPE) Program. This helps Certified FRMs develop their expertise and stay current in a dynamic industry. For more information click here
