UNICOM Seminars
Overview
UNICOM Seminars Ltd & OptiRisk Systems are one of the very few UK training providers offering weekend and evening FRM exam preparation and tutorial 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 6 full-day tutorial modules, each covering a different topic of the exam. These tutorials follow a flexible - but well defined - syllabus covering most of the FRM curriculum. The modules take place on Saturdays 09.30-17.00 in Uxbridge, West London, near Brunel University. In addition, Tuesday evenings from 18.00-21.00hrs may be used for practicing examination questions and, if necessary, further discussion of the topics covered in the Six Saturday 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.
World Academies' Partner (WAP) represents hundreds of universities and institutions worldwide. Our subsidy - WAP Professional caters the learning needs of local Hong Kong students, from recognized language courses to professional qualifications. The lecturers of FRM Preparation courses are qualified FRM holders with solid risk management in leading Investment Bank.
The FRM Exam Preparation Course covers the knowledge and theory of risk management such as: Quantitative Analysis, Market Risk, Credit Risk, Operational and Legal Risk.
