Dallas, Texas, August 23, 2016—International Risk Management Institute, Inc.
(IRMI®), and WebCE have launched
an online curriculum for the Energy Risk and Insurance Specialist (ERIS™)
certification and continuing education program
at ERIS-ce.com.
The ERIS program is a specialized curriculum focusing on the insurance and risk
management needs of the energy industry, with an initial focus on the oil and
gas exploration, production, and transmission industry. Those who complete the
program are entitled to display the ERIS certification to attest to their
knowledge of energy insurance and risk management and dedication to the
industry.
The core curriculum is composed of five basic- to intermediate-level insurance
and risk management continuing education courses which are directly focused on
understanding, mitigating, and insuring the complex exposures of oil and gas
risks.
- Understanding the Oil and Gas Industry and Its Risks
- Contractual Risk Transfer in Energy
- Commercial Liability for the Energy Industry
- Workers Compensation and Maritime Liability for the Energy Industry
- Control of Well/Operators Extra Expense Risks and Insurance
“Everything we do depends on energy, so it is one of the most important
issues of our time,” said Millie Workman, director of training and education at
IRMI. “Managing the risks that arise from the unique operations in the energy
industry requires specialized knowledge and expertise. The online ERIS
certification program provides opportunities for those involved in energy risk
management and insurance to access the information and resources to help manage
those risks more effectively.”
Completing all five courses (each with a passing score) entitles energy
insurance professionals to display and use the ERIS certification. Each ERIS
course costs $99, plus $15 for CE credit if needed.
To maintain the certification, the ERIS certification holder must complete only
6 hours of ERIS continuing education credit every 12 months thereafter. This
can be satisfied through just one additional online course or by attending
approved seminars and conferences.
