1What it is
A credential specialised in measuring and managing financial risk: market, credit, operational and liquidity risk, and quantitative measurement models. It comes in two parts and is sought by risk departments in banks, investment firms and regulators.
2Who it suits
People working in risk, treasury and compliance, investment analysts, and finance and statistics graduates.
3What it requires
No prior qualification is needed to register; work experience is required to be certified after passing both parts.
4How it is earned
Two parts, each with an exam on dates announced each year, and a syllabus published by the association. It is a quantitative certificate that needs practice with problems, not reading alone.
