I wrote FRM after studying on my own, and failed. Going to Edge really changed things for me. Russell is so knowledgeable, and has great love and interest in each student.

I am so grateful that I enrolled with Edge Designations to prepare for FRM part 1 & 2 Exams. It's definitely not an easy certificate to obtain, but with the help of Edge Designations I made it. You have to put in the hours to get the most of what Edge Designations offers. The mock exams are critical and very helpful, working with a team towards a common goal was the best, and Edge Designations created the platform to meet great people and achieve my goal. I highly recommend Edge Designations – give it your all and you will make it.
