The ERP designation is the first and only professional certification in the energy risk field, so your employees are being benchmarked against the best in the world.

When you hire an ERP, you are hiring a professional who has committed to adhering to the highest possible standards of professional conduct. By agreeing to the GARP Code of Conduct, Certified ERPs have pledged to pursue high ethical standards that go well beyond the letter of applicable rules and regulations. Employers know that Certified ERP holders will help safeguard their firms' reputations.

Certified ERPs have state-of-the-art knowledge. The ERP Exam is created twice a year by a distinguished panel of energy risk practitioners and academics to accurately focus on the most current, relevant issues in energy risk management. The ERP Exam thus reflects a mix of foundational theory and current marketplace issues. To view the members of the Energy Oversight Commitee, click here.

The ERP requires professional achievement in managing energy risk. In order to become a Certified ERP, candidates must demonstrate two years of full-time risk-related professional experience - so becoming a Certified ERP means considerably more than passing an Exam. Certified ERPs are not only technically competent but that they possess practical experience that is valuable to an employer.

GARP requires Certified ERPs opportunities to further their skills and knowledge through the mandatory Continuing Professional Education (CPE) Program. This helps Certified ERPs develop their expertise and stay current in a dynamic industry.
