Happy Sunday people. Heard about FRM and all the good stuff that its going to be very hot in demand in the coming times and because I'm in the banking sector (branch operations specifically) I'm thinking about enrolling for the exam in a bid to make way to other specialized units in the banking sector or even Consultancy Firms that have risk depts)(don't know much about consultancy firms). Whilst one part of me says to go for it, another part of me says its not well recognized and people dont know the value of the certification just yet and that's why I thought to seek counsel from this Great site. Would you advise me to pursue this program or the more traditional ICAN or MBA for the purpose highlighted above. I also stumbled upon another risk certification, CRMA and I'm not sure which one is the more appealing to employers at the moment. What do you think?

@Greatdude,

FRM is a specialized certification that would be quite useful in the field of - 'Risk'.
ERP for the Energy Sector.

Since you intend to move to Risk/Compliance, then go for it but it does not make sense to write the exam with the notion that it is "highly demanded" in the financial sector.

It is quite difficult though, as i heard. One of my senior colleagues has the certification and her head is always hot.

Thanks a bunch David
