Frequently Asked
Questions
1. How comprehensive are the
slides? Are they just bullet points?
Answer: The
slides are not just bullet points, you can read them, understand and
learn. But, they are not a book. These are the official slides we
use in our instructor led classes.
2. Do I need to buy books to pass the
exam?
Answer: No. If you study the slides carefully,
you can pass the exam. If you fail the first time, it is not a
failure, it is an opportunity to study more. Print the slides and
use Post-it to attach notes like "Basel ii Credit Risk" "Basel ii
Operational Risk" etc. to know where to find the answer of the
material you do not remember.
3. Is it an open book exam? Why?
Answer: Yes, it is an open book exam. Risk and
compliance management is not something you have to memorize, it is
something you have to understand.
4. Do I have to sit for the exam soon after receiving
the presentations?
Answer: No. You can sit for the exam from your office
or home any time in the future. We will create an online account
that never expires.
5. Do I have to spend more money in the future to
remain certified? Does the certification
lose its value after some time?
Answer: No. Your certificate never expires. It
will be valid without the need to spend money or to sit for another
exam in the future.
6. Ok, the certificate
never expires, but things change...
Answer: If a university degree never expires, why
should our certificate expire? Yes, things change, and exactly this
is the reason you need to become a member of the Association.
Membership is free. You will receive a monthly newsletter with
updates, alerts and opportunities to remain current. There is no
cost for that.
7. How many hours do I need to study in order to pass
the exam?
Answer: It depends on your knowledge and
experience. You must study the presentations carefully (430 slides).
You must go through the slides another time, and ensure you have
learned the details. It will take 10-50 hours.
8. I am not a lawyer. How can I understand the
course?
Answer: This distance learning and online
certification program is intended for all professionals that work
(or want to work) in risk and compliance management. It has been
designed to provide with the knowledge, skills and understanding
needed to work in Basel ii Compliance Projects.
9. I want to learn more about the online exam.
Answer: You will be given 90
minutes to complete a 35 question
multiple-choice exam. You must score 70%
or higher.
10. Why should I be
certified?
Answer: After the failures of so many
organizations during the current market crisis, and the risk that
shareholders may sue senior management and the board of directors
for gross negligence, most firms hire only professionals that
provide evidence that they are qualified.
Organizations need assurance that employees have the
knowledge and skills to mitigate risks and to accept more
responsibility. Supervisors and auditors ask for independent
evidence that the process owners are qualified, and that the
controls can operate as designed because the persons responsible for
these controls have the necessary knowledge.
The marketplace is clearly demanding qualified
professionals in risk and compliance management. Certified
professionals enjoy industry recognition, have more and better job
opportunities, secure the best jobs, and make more money. They are
more satisfied as they enjoy much more benefits for spending their
time for somebody else.
It is important to be
certified and to belong to professional associations. You prove that
you are somebody who cares, learns, and belongs to a global
community of professionals.
11. Why should I
choose your certification program?
Answer: It is always wise to investigate first.
You may search for other Basel ii certificates first.
Our distance learning and
online certification program is a very honest proposal:
1. You
receive the training material (the official presentations of the
instructor-led class).
2. You can pass the exam. There are 3
exams that are included in the price, so you do not have to pay
again if you fail.
3. You do not need to spend money or to sit for
another exam again in the future to remain certified.
Your certificate never expires.
4. You become member to
the Association and receive monthly updates, news and alerts.
5.
You become known to 15+ of the best headhunters of the world, as
they add all certified professionals in their
database.
