The ERGP programme — 6 modules, 123 chapters
Every module ends with a test and a working artefact that stays with you.
Resilience governance and the board · 23 chapters
How resilience is governed at the top of a company. Risk appetite for disruption and how a board approves it, committee architecture and delegation of authority. Separate chapters cover the three lines of defence and the role of the chief risk officer.
From enterprise risk management to business resilience · 20 chapters
Connecting enterprise risk management to business continuity: ISO 31000 and the risk register, key risk indicators and early warning, scenario analysis and stress tests. A separate block covers using AI for risk monitoring.
Impact analysis and the economics of recovery · 20 chapters
Translating resilience into money. Running a business impact analysis (BIA), setting recovery targets — maximum tolerable period of disruption, recovery time and recovery point objectives. Costing a day of downtime and building the investment case for each measure.
Crisis management and decision-making · 20 chapters
What to do once a risk has actually landed. The crisis team and escalation, communications under pressure, decision-making with incomplete information. A separate block covers the exercise programme and post-exercise reporting.
Regulatory requirements: understanding and applying them · 20 chapters
ISO 22301 in depth, including the Russian national profile GOST R ISO 22301 that local entities are audited against. The international layer covers DORA in the EU and the Bank of England operational resilience regime. The core skill of the module is closing several sets of requirements with one system.
Assurance, reporting and maturity · 20 chapters
How to show management and the auditor that the system works. The resilience dashboard, the report for the board, audit readiness. The module closes with a maturity model.
The programme ends with a final assignment. You write a 3-5 page resilience report on your own organisation and review it with an expert in a one-to-one online session.
How knowledge is tested
A certificate that can be verified
The programme results in a personal, numbered ERGP certificate (Enterprise Resilience Governance Professional).
Personal numbered ERGP certificate. Sample shown.
- Personal, with a unique number. Issued in the participant's name; every certificate carries its own number.
- Issued for the whole programme. After all six tests and the review of the final assignment.
- Authenticity is checked by number. An employer or a client can confirm the certificate was genuinely issued.
The public registry opens with the first cohort. To verify a certificate today, write to info@risk-place.ru — we reply the same day.

What you join with the certificate: the ERGP Circle
The certificate is the entry. 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; small today, it grows with every certificate issued.
- Knowledge ahead of the market. A quarterly Circle session on one real case; new modules and regulatory readings before publication.
- People you can call. A private member directory, access to the examiners.
- Real work. We assign Circle members to client engagements: audits, dashboards, continuity systems. Members with standing become examiners.
Curated by Erzhena Khilko; engagements coordinated by Evgeny Telenkov. More about the Circle →

Frequently asked questions
ERGP stands for Enterprise Resilience Governance Professional — an online course and certification in business resilience governance. This edition is written in English for the Russian market; a separate edition for the Gulf lives at risk-place.org.
Same discipline, different market. This edition is priced in roubles and built around the standards Russian entities are audited against, including GOST R ISO 22301. The risk-place.org edition is built for the Gulf, around NCEMA and central bank requirements there.
You work through ERGP at your own pace and start any day. Access to the materials runs for 6 months from payment — enough to complete all six modules, work through the self-checks and revisit chapters before the final assignment.
A personal ERGP certificate with a unique number — a risk-place certificate of completion, not a state document. Its value is the assessment behind it: six tests and a reviewed final assignment. Authenticity is verified by number.
It is a systematic programme with assessment, not a recording of lectures: a self-check after each part, a test after each module, and a final assignment reviewed with an expert.
