4. What is the advantage of taking an online course?

Convenience is the greatest advantage to taking an online course. Whether you are juggling career, family, and academic obligations, which makes attending Kaplan's live classroom courses difficult, our online course provides the flexibility to learn the FRM materials as your schedule permits.

5. How do I know an online course is for me?

If you can study independently, have good organizational skills, self-motivated, aware of the rigor of the exam, do not need reimbursement from the HK government's Continuing Education Fund and have difficulty committing to a live class schedule, you may find eLearning to be a rewarding and satisfying experience. eLearning is not for everyone. The workload is equivalent to our campus program, but you can schedule those hours at your convenience. The ability to organize time and stay on track is important. We strongly encourage you to try our [eLearning demo] before you decide to enroll.

18. Is eLearning Education Program sufficient?
Like the Campus Education Program, eLearning Education Program is designed as the foundation on which the Revision Phase and Mock Exam Phase are based. It gives you understanding and insight to each topic. However, FRM exam requires not only knowledge but also the ability to apply knowledge to exam standard questions. To maximize completeness and maximize result, you should consider taking Revision-based courses, which could be our Campus Revision Course or Kaplan Schweser Final Review Pack.
