FRM® Part 1 is the foundation of global risk management expertise, and at SSEI, it is taught with the same depth-first discipline that has defined the institute’s CFA and CA programmes for 30+ years. Co-faculty Sanjay Saraf Sir and Budhaditya Debnath guide candidates through ~230 hours of core conceptual content covering the full GARP® Part 1 syllabus — Foundations of Risk Management, Quantitative Analysis, Financial Markets and Products, and Valuation and Risk Models — with every learning objective and reading conceptually explained and deliberated on, not skimmed. The programme is delivered Live Online + Offline (Kolkata), built around lectures, handwritten notes, spreadsheet-based modelling, in-class question solving, and the SSEI building blocks methodology. Candidates receive PDF class notes for revision, in-class extensive question solving from GARP® Candidate Resources and End-of-Chapter questions, and doubts are directly solved by Sanjay Sir on Telegram — no helpdesk gatekeeping. Built for engineers, finance professionals, MBAs and quants targeting credit, market, operational, and liquidity risk roles
