The HR0-002 exam is the official test behind the International Fixed Income and Derivatives Certificate (IFID / 2009 Version) certification, a Professional / Specialist-level credential from ICMA. Passing it validates the skills measured by the ICMA International Fixed Income and Derivatives Cert. 2009 objectives and proves to employers that you can apply those skills in real-world scenarios, not just recite theory. The credential also sits alongside related certifications such as ICMA Fixed Income Certificate (FIC), ICMA Diploma in Securities & Derivatives, making it a strong building block in a broader ICMA certification path. For candidates planning a longer-term career move, the HR0-002 exam is often the step that turns study effort into a verifiable, resumé-ready qualification.
The ICMA International Fixed Income and Derivatives Cert. 2009 blueprint is divided into 5 exam domains. The first three are Portfolio & Risk Management (15%), Structured & Embedded Option Securities (20%), and Credit Analysis & Credit Derivatives (15%). The weightings matter: they tell you where the bulk of your score comes from, so allocate study time in proportion rather than spreading it evenly. Scroll back to the exam topics section above for the complete domain-by-domain breakdown of the HR0-002 exam.
The ICMA International Fixed Income and Derivatives Cert. 2009 exam gives you 120 minutes to work through 100 questions. Do the math before test day: divide the total time by the question count to set a steady per-question pace, and treat that number as a hard budget rather than a guideline. When a question eats more than its share, flag it and move on — a flagged question can be revisited, but lost minutes can't. Running two or three full timed mock exams in the PracticeTorrent test engine before your exam date is the most reliable way to make that pacing automatic.
The passing score for the ICMA International Fixed Income and Derivatives Cert. 2009 exam is 60%, and the official registration fee is Not officially published (retired legacy exam). Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying that fee in full again — there are no discounted retakes — so booking the exam before you're ready is the most expensive shortcut in certification. A practical rule: take a timed self-assessment with PracticeTorrent practice tests first, and only schedule your seat once you're scoring comfortably above the passing mark with time to spare. That buffer absorbs exam-day nerves and the handful of questions that always seem to come from nowhere.
According to ICMA, the ICMA International Fixed Income and Derivatives Cert. 2009 exam uses the following question formats: Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ). Different formats reward different habits. For scenario-based items, read the final sentence of the question stem first so you know what's actually being asked before you dig into the details, and never change an answer unless you can point to the exact clue you missed. The PracticeTorrent question bank lets you rehearse every format until each one feels routine.
ICMA currently offers the HR0-002 exam in English. Choose the language you can reason in fastest under time pressure — reading speed matters more than most candidates expect. If you plan to test in English, working through PracticeTorrent's 100 English practice questions doubles as terminology training, so the phrasing on exam day feels familiar rather than foreign.
The credential you earn by passing the ICMA International Fixed Income and Derivatives Cert. 2009 exam remains valid for Lifetime (no expiration, legacy qualification). That clock is worth protecting: set a reminder well before the expiry date and review the official recertification options early, so staying certified becomes a planned task instead of a last-minute scramble. Recertification policies are set by ICMA and can change, so confirm the current rules on the official certification page.
