Can you take GARP exams online from home?
Yes for the two certificate exams - and no for the flagship. The SCR (Sustainability and Climate Risk) and RAI (Risk and AI) exams can both be sat online from home through Pearson VUE's OnVUE proctoring or in person at a Pearson VUE test center: GARP's own logistics pages offer the online choice, and Pearson's live GARP registration flow renders both exams' delivery-options steps - SCR id 42366, RAI id 53858 - showing In-person at a test center and Online with OnVUE without any sign-in.
The FRM is the exception, stated plainly because competitor pages blur it: GARP's FRM logistics page routes all candidates to PSI test centers - ATA centers in China Mainland, Hong Kong SAR China, and Thailand - and lists no online-proctored format, Pearson's GARP program page covers only the FRR, SCR, and RAI exams, and no FRM exam appears anywhere in Pearson's live GARP flow. If someone offers you an online FRM sitting, the delivery mode they are describing does not exist.
The live GARP exam inventory, verified 2026-10-22
Pearson's live GARP registration flow renders its public exam list without sign-in, and nine exams render as of 2026-10-22. The certificate pair leads the list: SCR (Sustainability and Climate Risk) and GARPRandAI (Risk and Artificial Intelligence), plus GARPRAIJAPAN (Risk and Artificial Intelligence Japan) - the separate code for the Japanese-language sitting GARP offered for candidates in Japan on October 3, 2026.
The rest of the list is the FRR family: 2016-FRR and FRR_Series (Financial Risk and Regulation Series), plus the four sub-exams - FRR_Series-ALM (Asset and Liability Management), FRR_Series-CR (Credit Risk Management), FRR_Series-MR (Market Risk Management), and FRR_Series-OR (Operational Risk Management). The FRR is a self-study course whose registration includes exam access through Pearson - a different shape from the proctored SCR and RAI certificate sittings, so it gets its own row in the map rather than a blended one.
What is not in the flow is as informative as what is: no FRM exam code appears anywhere in the GARP client list. The FRM's absence from Pearson's system is the structural confirmation of what GARP's FRM logistics page says in words - the FRM runs through PSI's test-center network, not Pearson's.
The delivery map, program by program
SCR - online verified per exam. GARP's SCR Exam Logistics page offers Computer-Based Testing at Pearson VUE centers or Online Proctoring through OnVUE at a location of the candidate's choice; Pearson's live flow renders the SCR delivery-options step (id 42366) with In-person at a test center and Online with OnVUE; the official OnVUE view-all catalog lists GARP for home testing. The SCR runs in April and October windows only.
RAI - online verified per exam. The same three layers hold: GARP's RAI Exam Logistics page offers the two formats, Pearson's live flow renders the GARPRandAI delivery-options step (id 53858) with both options, and the catalog lists the program. The RAI also runs in April and October windows only, with a Japanese-language sitting recorded for October 3, 2026 in Japan.
FRR - listed in Pearson's flow, framed correctly. The FRR Series and its four sub-exams render in the live list, and Pearson's program page describes FRR Course registration as including FRR Exam access through Pearson. The FRR is a four-module self-study course ending in an exam and an official GARP-issued certificate - not a proctored certification sitting of the SCR/RAI shape, so this page makes no per-exam delivery claim for it beyond what the flow renders.
FRM - test-center only. GARP's FRM logistics page routes all candidates to PSI test centers, with ATA centers covering China Mainland, Hong Kong SAR China, and Thailand, and offers no online-proctoring format. The FRM runs in May, August, and November windows at testing sites, with Part I carrying 100 multiple-choice questions and Part II 80. There is no online FRM.

What are the at-home rules for a GARP OnVUE sitting?
The dedicated GARP OnVUE page publishes the minimums: Windows 10 or macOS 14 or higher, a working webcam, microphone, and speaker with no headphones, one display only, at least 6 Mbps down and 2 Mbps up, and every other application closed. Prohibited technology runs from virtual machines and beta operating systems to phones, tablets, headphones, smart devices with recording or AI features, secondary or touchscreen displays, and VPNs or corporate or public networks. The system test should be run and passed on the same device and network you will use on exam day.
Check-in runs through your GARP account into the OnVUE platform: equipment and network checks, then your phone is used to photograph you, your government-issued ID, and your workspace, the proctor reviews the room scan, and the exam launches. The ID name must exactly match the registration - GARP states there are no exceptions to its identification policy. Two rules end sittings outright: breaks are not allowed during the online session, and a phone accessed after check-in terminates the exam. Miss the minimums and the sitting is canceled with the fee forfeited.
How can you verify the delivery claim yourself?
The same public path this page used is open to anyone. Start at Pearson's official OnVUE view-all catalog and find Global Association of Risk Professionals - that is the program-level answer. Follow through to the dedicated GARP OnVUE page for the at-home rules and the ID list. Then open Pearson's live GARP registration flow, which renders the public exam list without sign-in, and select SCR or GARPRandAI: the delivery-options step shows In-person at a test center and Online with OnVUE, which is the per-exam layer.
For the FRM, the verification runs the other way: open GARP's FRM Exam Logistics page and read the Finding an Exam Location section - PSI for most of the world, ATA for China Mainland, Hong Kong SAR China, and Thailand, with no online format listed - then confirm that no FRM code appears in Pearson's GARP flow. This page carries its verification date - 2026-10-22 across every layer - so you can tell exactly how fresh each piece is.
The short version
Two GARP exams are online-deliverable and verified per exam today: the SCR and the RAI, both offering Online with OnVUE in Pearson's live flow. The FRR course exams are listed in the same flow with exam access bundled into the course registration. And the FRM - the flagship - is test-center only through PSI and ATA, whatever a competitor page implies.
If the sitting is the part you want handled, Exam Assist manages the SCR and RAI exams end to end - the GARP registration, the delivery choice, the system checks, and the proctored sitting - and the service fee is due only after the agreed result posts. Start at the booking page or open the SCR and RAI service pages for the sittings themselves.
