How to become an Investor Relations Practitioner?
As IRPs need more than one area of expertise, not
many programmes in the market are adequately equipped to train IRPs.
Currently, the only programme available to equip graduates with
the necessary skills and practical knowledge is the Certified Practitioner
of Investor Relations (CPIR) Programme, conducted by APEC Business
Exchange. Upon successful completion of the Programme after passing
the CPIR examinations, the Association of Investor Relations Practitioners
will certify the candidate as a CPIR.
The CPIR Programme
The CPIR Programme is a market-oriented programme
taught by experienced practitioners and focuses on three disciplines,
namely that of finance, marketing, and communications. Adopting
an MBA-style of instruction, candidates will work on numerous case
studies in groups, where they can experience the real-life challenges
faced by IRPs everyday.
Conclusion
Becoming a successful IRP is not difficult but it
requires hard work, lots of networking, and a good understanding
of how financial markets work. But in the long run, even experienced
IRPs will have to keep up with the development in the industry as
it is an extremely dynamic one and you can expect a lot of new developments
in the years ahead.
