Important: You
have 5 years from the time that you pass the ERP Exam to submit
your 2 years of work experience. If you do not submit your 2 years
of professional work experience during those 5 years, you will be
required to re-sit for the ERP Exam.
Earning the right to use "ERP" after your
name demonstrates professionalism and dedication to the profession.
Thus, having experience is important to assure the ERP designation
maintains its status as the certification for energy risk
professionals worldwide.
