For the risk managers, energy is regarded as one of the most challenging and dynamic field. Yet, so far there is no dedicated certification for energy professionals that can set them apart and show their expertise to access the energy value chains.
For this purpose, in 2009, Global Association of Risk Professionals (GARP) introduced the Energy Risk Professional (ERP®) program to address the growing demand for risk managers in the energy sector as well as the need of a certification that is global and not constraint by the market practices applied in any one country or region.
The ERP® Program creates a unique link between the physical and financial energy markets, including sophisticated trading instruments and complex structured energy transactions. Since 2009, more than 1,025 organizations globally had their candidates sit for this certification.
Not just the risk professionals are currently high in demand (we will be sharing more about it in our next blog), the ERP® certification offers steady growth and allows diversified roles in the energy sector. Below we have shared the top 10 positions that ERP® certified professionals usually look after (Image source: GARP).
