This particular curse is not just about passing some exams. It is about accepting the challenge of changing oneself for the better.

Employers need to know that you are different. Your goals are higher and you don’t accept failure as an option. Whatever it takes to get the job done, you will do it.
The relevance in today’s world
Understanding the importance of risk management in today’s face-paced never-stopping world cannot be over-stated.
Things in the financial world has changed so much since the 2008 global collapse.
Risk experts are no longer relegated to the back of some office. They are being placed at the highest levels within the corporate structure.
Board of directors in relatively small and extremely large enterprises are asking for the inputs of these individuals before making critical decisions.
Are you in a position to offer top-tiered advice? If not, then jump on board today and get going.

You will not regret it.
Twos the way
To earn this certification, things are a little bit different when compared to others out there.
You will have to pass two (2) exams. Although you can take both in the same day, the second part (i.e., level 2) will not be marked unless you clear the first part (i.e., level 1).
English formatting
These exams are currently only offered in the English language. Asa result, if English is not your first language, be sure to try some sample questions beforehand and make sure that you are comfortable in understanding the concepts before selecting a test day.
