GARP has announced the postponement of some FRM July 2021 exams in these locations:
This is due to the increase in COVID cases and local regulations in these countries.
There is currently no news of postponement in India yet, nor an option provided for deferral here. GARP stated that it is “monitoring the situation closely for the July FRM Part I Exam” in India.
All July 2021 FRM candidates will automatically be registered for the November exams, which will be based on the same curriculum.
We will keep this page updated as we learn more, but meanwhile, here are some FAQs on next steps:
Affected candidates should wait for their dashboard in GARP’s portal to be updated to reflect this deferral to November, before logging in and scheduling their exam appointment.
Exam appointments are on a first-come, first-serve basis. Deadline to reschedule an appointment is 20 October 2021.
For more details on GARP’s general rescheduling and deferral policies for FRM exams, please check out our FRM exam dates FAQs.
GARP have not ruled out more cancellations and are actively monitoring the local pandemic situation globally.
Just like the previous exam cycle, we will keep this page updated as we learn more.
Affected FRM July 2021 Part 1 candidates will be deferred to the November 2021 exam window.
As far as we understand, GARP currently does not provide refunds for either the exam enrollment or registration fee as a normal policy.
We have a list of alternative qualifications that FRM candidates might be interested in, which includes financial modelling, programming, data science, languages and well-being courses.
