PRM Testimonials

Benefits of earning the PRM certification start from the beginning of the certification journey, i.e. from reviewing the reading materials. The gained knowledge and best practices are directly applicable to my daily job along with the process of certification. The recommended reading materials including five PRM Handbooks and case studies are not only necessary for the PRM exams, but also are excellent sources of knowledge, skill and industrial best practices for a risk management professional. The five handbooks are systematic, current and with broad-coverage. The selected case studies are the must-know cases for a risk management professional. The other impressive feature of the books is that the base knowledge is presented in such a way that even if you took Finance 101 two decades ago, you are able to quickly and smoothly regain the theories and concepts. Peter Ding, PRM, ATB Financial, Edmonton, AB Canada

Thanks to PRM Certification I have developed a deeper understanding of credit and market risks measurement. I have also benefited from case studies, as exam IV of the PRM Certification tests a candidate’s knowledge and understanding of risk management failures, their causes and the lessons to be learnt from them. The program expanded and strengthened my abilities as a risk consultant. Michał Kara, PRM, Ernst & Young, Business Advisory, Warsaw, Poland

PRMIA Certification is already on my resume and I have had three interviews in just last week, for risk management positions. The certification is opening up a lot of new career opportunities for me that I had never even dreamed of. Gundeep Anand, PRM, Chicago, USA

...I have more than 10 years experience in risk management...one of my potential clients is insisting that I attain the PRM qualification before I can start a project [with them]. Certified PRM, Mumbai, India

The PRM qualification is one of the best things that PRMIA has done for the risk profession. David French, PRM, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, London, England

I downloaded your Guidebook because I interviewed a job candidate who had successfully completed the PRM program. I was very favorably impressed. Keep up the good work! Senior Portfolio Manager, Large Fund Management Company, USA

I have been accepted for admission to Stanford and Carnegie Mellon - to their Master program in financial math and computational finance respectively. My application wouldn’t have been so successful without the endorsement of the PRM. I’m proud to be part of an institution like PRMIA. Tan Heng Wee, PRM, Singapore

The exam itself was just as expected, comprehensive... This is proof that PRMIA effectively tests what it say's it will. Julio Rodriguez Quiros, PRM, San José, Costa Rica
