hello everyone!!

Does anyone have any idea about Professional Risk Manager course offered by PRMIA. I am working for a credit hedge fund after I finished my MBA eight months back. As of now I won't be able to pursue any full time course, may be after a year or two. Can anyone advise me on that whether this course would be helpful?
 
You can see where "professional" risk managers who took that course brought us to with all this subprime mess, billions in writedowns, bankruptcies, etc So, is it good?.. Maybe, but very unlikely it is.

However, if you have some spare time to learn new things it might be useful. Personally, I would prefer a self-study for the CFA exams.
 
Earlier I was planning to apply for CFA course, but then course ran into some problems with local educational authorities in India with high court passing the judgement against CFA operations in India. That's why i was thinking about some other course which is equally useful. Plus, it is the quant and derivatives that interests me more rather than general valuation stuff which i hav already studied in my MBA. So I thought of this PRM course.
