UNICOM Seminars

UNICOM Seminars Ltd & OptiRisk Systems is one of the only UK training providers offering evening and weekend FRM revision sessions in London.

The course offered comprises the FRM Primer, which is a series of lectures and discussion sessions, and the FRM clinic, a full-day revision clinic. The Primer is split into five tutorial modules totalling 14 evening sessions of 3 hours duration. Each module covers a different aspect of the exam. These tutorials follow a flexible -but well defined-syllabus covering most of the FRM curriculum. The modules take place on weeknights 1800 – 2100 in London. There are a further six Saturday sessions (also comprising 3-hour time slots) where participants practice relevant past examination questions as well as request reiteration for more difficult concepts not fully understood during the weekly sessions.

The FRM full-day clinic is held two weeks before the FRM examination. This allows delegates to undertake a relatively realistic 'mock' FRM examination some time before the real one and thus avoid pre-exam stress.

Delegates receive an extensive reading list and pre-course materials. They also complete a pre-course 'diagnostic' to ensure they get the most out of the course.
