Energy Trading and Risk Management (ETRM)

Energy – More important than ever right now!

Some economists say that the GDP of a country is directly proportional to its energy consumption. The global population is predicated to reach nearly 10 billion people by 2050. This will put high requirements on the demand for energy globally, requirements for leaner and more efficient supply chains, a push towards a diversified energy portfolio mix and stricter environmental and regulatory control. The impact would be a spurge in need for specialists having deep domain knowledge within the energy space to help our precious blue planet face some of its biggest energy challenges and hopefully help us transition into the “new-energy” age.

Course Overview:

The course is specifically designed to impart you with the fundamental concepts to thrive and succeed in banking, commodity and energy companies and get your foot in the door of the world of ETRM – Energy Trading and Risk Management. I have attempted to simplify and break down complex concepts into easy digestible pieces to ensure maximum learning is transitioned to you,  in an entertaining manner.

The focused cheat sheets will help you solidify your learning. The wide range of questions in the form of quizzes  (multiple choice questions) will assist in consolidating your knowledge. Lastly, I talk to industry professionals from a wide range of backgrounds within energy and upload them in the form of podcasts. You get access to those as well in this course.

Ideally, you should be able to complete it within 3 months. But since you will get lifetime access, feel free to take your own sweet time.

Course Disclaimer:

1. This is a beginner level course and not designed for advanced industry experts. However, post registering, you get access to our community of over 600+ Energy Professionals. You can leverage this community for interactions or advance queries through this platform.

2. Sometimes the audio volume tends to get low (my apologies in advance). I urge you to use headphones and after that, it should be perfectly audible. In case you still face issues, just drop me a mail and I will assist you on the same.

3. Honest and transparent participant feedback on the Udemy course platform. You may probably not find this anywhere else on the internet.

4. Note – the closest certificate available to demonstrate competency in the ETRM industry, used to be the GARP – ERP exam. However, the exam itself is discontinued from GARP. At the same time, the ETRM industry continues to thrive and in my view is going to witness strong growth over the next decade.
