Attaining Level II Employee Relocation Representative Certification

from:


When one begins on a career path to become a certified relocation expert, the Level II Employee Relocation Representative is the first level of professional certification that earns you a title after your name. While Level I classes are open to anyone, you must first become a member of the Worldwide ERC organization (formerly known as the Employee Relocation Council), which is headquartered in Washington DC and Brussels.

Once you've become a member in good standing, you may take the Level I exams. These functions as an introductory course that give new and experienced professionals in the relocation industry an overview of the issues that will be covered in far more depth during the Level II Employee Relocation Representative exams at the next level. Successful completion of the Level I exams allows you to use the title of ERC Relocation Specialist on your communications. Even if you've been in the industry for several years, you'll still need to start at this introductory course if you've never taken it before.

When you've taken the Level I coursework, usually at a community college or special training center, and passed the exams, you may register for the Level II Employee Relocation Representative classes. These credits tend to be a bit more rigorous than those found with the Level I courses that function to give more of an overview of the relocation process in its entirety.

Level II Employee Relocation Representative Classes continue along this line with a focus upon domestic relocation. Students will be given a chance to not only hone their own skills and prepare sample relocation plans, but there is also a focus on the social aspect of the move, such as those encountered with relocating families.

Throughout the Level II Employee Relocation Representative course, students will be given advanced training that touches upon the complicated fields of real estate, banking, logistics and something akin to social work. By learning how professionals other than those in your certified relocation firm handle similar situations, students gain an understanding of different approaches that can be very useful in their daily work. There will also be opportunities for students to mingle and network with one another, forging relationships that can be mutually beneficial.

Once the coursework is complete and the Level II Employee Relocation Representative exam is passed, graduates may progress to the Level III courses that focus on international employee relocation. Once those are passed, the initials CERP may be used after your name, indicating you are a Certified Employee Relocation Professional. Recertification every 3 years requires a set number of credit hours and a fee.
