How much importance is the FRM certification course?

If you have no background in Banking and Finance subjects, it is better for you to do an FRM / PRM and the other professional qualifications in risk offered by various bodies and institutes around the world.
I am sorry, but with this sort of garbage, you won’t be able to impress employers at the highest level, who are looking for mature #ERM Specialists with industry-specific experiences and learning or Quants with exceptional degrees from the top most unis.
Most of my bosses, who were SEOs at banks and funds, didn't have any Risk certificate, but they knew the processes inside out!
Learning risk taxonomy is one thing and applying risk insights into problems with authorizations is something that requires professional expertise.
Secondly, the FRM / PRM certificates are not very good at teaching advance mathematical models, risk computing in Excel/ VBA Macros and/ or Advance programming in either SQL (Query relation database language) or further risk coding done in either R or Python or SAS, etc.
The IT / MIS and risk systems understanding is the first few things a risk headhunter requires and inquires about concerning a Financial risk desk role at FIs.
They (the headhunters) wouldn't settle for anything less!

So, I would advise you to pass the CERA (SOA - Society of Actuaries) Certificate or probably the CQF - Certificate of Quantitative Finance qualification/s.
These two certifications might do you a lot of good, instead of wasting time with the definitions of market risk, credit, liquidity and operational risk and so on etc.
Good Luck!
