Want every package, not one per provider? Compare prices by part, filtered by what you need.
Each mix bar is worked out from a package's hours of video, pages of notes, questions and mocks. Where a provider does not publish a figure, such as the length of its notes, we estimate it from the provider's own pages and mark the mix as estimated. So treat the bars as a guide to what a package is made of, not as exact measures. Where a provider publishes none of the four figures, there is no bar.
Three providers sell FRM prep worldwide, and each one describes its packages in its own words on its own pages. We put those words side by side, with the dates, so you can choose in minutes instead of an evening.
Part I and Part II are sold separately by every provider, and priced differently. The switch above the table shows one at a time.
Each row is one provider's entry course: its price with the date we checked it, how long access lasts, and what the package is built on.
The head-to-heads set two providers side by side on access, support, mocks and questions. Each provider's own page lists every package it sells.
From GARP, with your Part I registration:
240
hours is what GARP says candidates typically spend preparing. Its Part II study platform and its printed books are sold separately, at $250 and $300 a part.
Source: GARP, the FRM Program page and its study materials page, read 5 October 2026.
One page each: every package for Part I and Part II, prices with the date we checked them, what is included and what is not.
So far that is 18 packages from 3 providers, across both parts. Every Part I price was checked on or after 30 Oct 2026. More are added as we check them.
One of us is a CFA Level II candidate, so we know what choosing a course under exam pressure feels like. Neither of us has sat the FRM, which is why every figure here is the provider's own, with its date.
What we have not done. We have not sat every course. We say what each comparison is built from, and we do not repeat a provider's own pass rate, because nobody outside can check it. More about us.
AnalystPrep, Bionic Turtle and Kaplan Schweser: the three that sell FRM prep online, worldwide, in English. GARP lists 27 exam preparation providers, and most of the rest are classroom schools in India and China. We add a provider once we have read its own pricing pages and terms.
Some providers pay us a commission when you buy. Those links are marked. A link that pays us is marked "Paid link". Providers that pay us nothing are compared in exactly the same way, and lists run A to Z.
Not everyone does. GARP gives every registrant its Part I learning platform with practice questions and two practice exams for each part, and sells the Part II platform and printed books separately. A course adds condensed notes, taught video, many more questions, mock exams in the real format, a plan and someone to ask. We show what each course adds to what you already have.
Because it does not publish the figures the bar needs. Bionic Turtle states no video hours or notes pages, and we will not guess, so its rows show the price, the access and what the package is built on. Kaplan Schweser states its questions and mocks, and its bar rests on our estimates of its class hours and notes, marked as estimates.
Not yet. The CFA quiz matches you to a package from eight answers, but one FRM provider publishes none of the figures it needs and another only some, so a match would lean on the one that does. For three providers, the comparison on this page and the three head-to-heads do the same job.
Every price shows the date we last checked it against the provider's own page. Prices and promotions move, so look at the provider's page before you buy.
