2010 FRM Calendar

[David Harper CFA FRM]

Hi,

I just published (here @ http://www.bionicturtle.com/products/announcement/2010_frm_calendar/) our 2010 second-half publish schedule. Please note that it includes three (5) live webinars held on Saturdays at 9 AM US EST (we have twice surveyed customers found this to be the most agreeable time given most of our customers are non-US); although we will make available RECORDED VERSIONS of the live webinar (however, I cannot currently guarantee Mac compatibility; but if you are a PC user, you will have access to recorded webinars). In summary...

Here is link to the calendar: http://sheet.zoho.com/corporate/1978922/btzoho/frm-calendar-v0206
(also above in the announcement @ http://www.bionicturtle.com/products/announcement/2010_frm_calendar/)

and here are the live webinar dates:
* Saturday July 10th: Quantitative Introduction @ 9 AM US EST (When is that for me?)
* Saturday August 7th: Level 1 @ 9 AM US EST(When is that for me?)
* Saturday September 4th: Level 1 @ 9 AM US EST (When is that for me?)
* Saturday October 2nd: Level 2 @ 9 AM US EST (When is that for me?)
* Saturday November 6th: Level 2 @ 9 AM US EST (When is that for me?)

Thanks ... I am really looking forward this year. We helped to pass (you have to do most of the work, sorry!) a record-high percentage (74% +/-) in November 2009 and I'd like to do even better this year!

David

hi david

what about the part 2 nominees?

i noticed that in the 2010 AIMS they changed only the current issues part, that is from the 2009 exam.

so my question is if you have another inputs for the 2010 AIMS and, what is your plan for part 2 nominees?

 

[David Harper CFA FRM]

hi gizmo,

L2 = part 2 (i.e., topics 5-9), so L2 is in there....re: "2010 AIMS they changed only the current issues part": the obvious changes are in current but there are other changes in other sections, also, so i don't agree with your statement. So, I guess i don't follow you b/c: 1. the extant 2009 tutorials are highly relevant plus 2. as usual, we will publish fresh help for 2010...David

hi david

locking forward to hear your view's on the L2 AIMS, as i say:

IN THE BT I TRUST...

thanks

Hi David,

I your calander, videos means is that interactive or you will upload the videos on that date ?
waht i mean is do we need to log in on the date of video session?
Please clarify.

Regards
srinivas

 

[David Harper CFA FRM]

Hi srinivas,

"Videos" refers to date of video upload; you can access at ANY time after the date because "videos" are prerecorded.
"Webinars" are the live Saturday events; but they will also be recorded.

Thanks, David

Hi David,

Eagerly waiting for the Level 1 Topic 1 materials + video. Any ETA on its arrival (supposed to be sometime today?)

Thanks!

 

[David Harper CFA FRM]

Hi samrege - glad you are looking forward to them. I just finished recording 1a. Now I record 1b, then i produce, then upload videos plus notes (done) ... so it will be several hours (+/- six hours, I'd guess) but definitely today (we will honor the schedule) - thanks, David

Hi David,

For some reason I can't download the 2010 Foundations L1 notes. Do u know if others are experiencing this problem?

 

[David Harper CFA FRM]

Hi skittz,

I just emailed you the PDF file.
This is the first problem cited with this file (and several downloads)...I will ask tech to take a look but it seems okay ... did you try: right-click and "Save As" the file to local?
..sometimes that is more effective than clicking directly to open in the browser

You should have rec'd my email...thanks, David

 

[tenisha]

Hi David,

I received ur email with the pdf. file....thank you. I didn't try right-clicking and save-as....however, i just tried saving the file by righ clicking and it worked. thanks for ur quick response!

 

[Suzanne Evans]

David/Suzanne,

I'm having trouble opening the Zoho spreadsheet link -- the website is timing out. Do you have a link to this in Google spreadsheet or Excel format?

Thanks!

 

[David Harper CFA FRM]

Hi ktzeng,

The zoho link seems to be working but I attached the exported XLS (see below). Thanks, David
