Why CPD
CPD, or Continuing Professional Development, is something that you should seriously consider to be a part of once you have completed your examinations and have received the designation.
Do not view this program as simply one that requires you to complete two exams. The FRM program is so much more than that.
The truth is that your knowledge about risk and its management cannot be something that is static. As times goes on, the broad knowledge and understanding of financial risk evolves and grows.
So too must your own understanding develop and sharpen with time.
About CPD

- The cycle starts on January 1 each year and ends in December 31.
- The CPD time cycle is calculated at a 2-year interval
