The ERGP Circle
Passing ERGP admits you to the Circle, a private community of certified practitioners coordinated by the founders. One Circle for the Russian, English and Arabic editions of the programme. Small today, it grows with every certificate issued.
Membership is earned once, at the examination, and carries three things with it.
- A quarterly Circle session: one real case, dissected with the founders and the examiners
- New modules and regulatory readings reach members before publication
- Working templates from live engagements
- A private member directory with specialisation and contacts, open to members only
- Direct access to the examiners and to each other
- Peers who solve the same problem in the next industry
- We assign Circle members to client engagements: audits, dashboards, continuity systems
- Members with standing become examiners and co-authors of modules
- Your name in the public register, verifiable by any employer
How you join
The Circle is open to holders of the ERGP certificate. Programme and price →
