FRM Quick Takes: What is a Risk Manager?

[@S_M_23_]

I am not a finance Major. I hold a degree in Economics majoring in quantitative economics and econometrics. Would it be ideal for me to pursue an FRM certification with a strong finance background?

Go for it

Not sure the generalist vs specialist hospital analogy was really necessary.

What is Enterprise Risk Management

[@mzo.7333]

Would fall under generalist. It pulls together all the risk types and provides a governance and oversight model for management to see all risks across the spectrum

What if someone now wants to become a risk professional but doesn't have any previous knowledge or experience. What course is there for such a person...?

[@mzo.7333]

@@tickedoffsheikh8587 so depends what stage you are.. what current experience (in any field you have because their might be some cross over), what country you're in and how much money you have. For me personally to get a general feel of what risk management was I chose a very cheap online course through "training express" just to get a basic understanding and have the right context and mind frame. A more comprehensive training will be with IRM. A certificate in risk management
