About Us
Our Values and Beliefs
Relationships are the foundation to successful Partnerships: We believe that transparency and total integrity are the cornerstones of strong, long‑lasting relationships that evolve into true partnerships.
Credibility creates confidence: By enabling our partners to engage directly with the right industry experts, we ensure clarity on both the what and the why, building trust through real‑world insight.
Knowledge without passion isn’t transferable: All of our experts are proven trainers who bring genuine passion for learning and teaching—because true engagement requires more than expertise; it requires energy, curiosity, and commitment.
Do what’s best for the customer: We are proud to be different. Protecting the brand never means acting as a barrier or a middle‑man. Our trainers’ intellectual property remains their own, and our priority is always the client’s best interest.
Employ the right expert for the job: We excel at designing and delivering the right training solutions. For everything beyond our core, we draw on the strength of the IFFERMA community – ensuring every requirement is met by the most qualified practitioner.

Who We Are
About our Company
IFFERMA was founded on a core set of values: complete transparency in how we work and build relationships, and unwavering integrity in every engagement with our partners. These principles guide everything we do and shape the way we collaborate, communicate, and deliver value.
Built on this foundation, we are committed to developing the IFFERMA community – an exclusive yet expanding network where members can connect, collaborate, and openly share their needs for specialised expertise. This community is the engine behind our practitioner‑led training services, giving organisations direct access to professionals who have operated at the highest levels of the energy, commodities, finance, and banking sectors.
Our training programmes are designed to be rigorous, immersive, and immediately applicable. We blend technical depth with real‑world insight, ensuring participants gain the clarity, capability, and confidence to perform with excellence. From trading and risk management to operational processes and strategic decision‑making, our courses are built and delivered by globally recognised practitioners who bring lived experience, not theory, to every session.
Through this combination of values, community, and practitioner expertise, IFFERMA equips organisations with the skills and insight needed to achieve sustainable growth and operational excellence.
The International Faculty of Finance, Energy and Risk Management (IFFERMA) specialises in delivering customised, in‑company training that is engaging, high‑impact, and precisely aligned with our clients’ needs.
Our global reach and deep practitioner expertise enable us to deliver training across a wide range of energy and finance sectors, subject areas, and regions. With more than 25 years of experience, our experts bring cutting‑edge knowledge and an unwavering commitment to exceptional client service.
We work with our partners in a way that is genuinely different—placing trust, transparency, and long‑term relationships at the centre of everything we do. Through our trusted community of industry experts, colleagues, and business peers, clients gain access to a wider network of real‑world practitioners.
Partnering with IFFERMA gives organisations the opportunity to build continuous learning programmes, from foundational concepts to advanced strategic topics. We support professionals at every stage of their career through a rich blend of technical fundamentals, applied learning, and tailored educational support.
Our practitioner expertise extends beyond training delivery. We support strategy‑level planning, organisational growth, and people development through operational effectiveness assessments, role mapping, job specification reviews, and the creation of structured career learning pathways.
Our blended learning approach adds measurable value by identifying capability gaps and addressing them through digital, virtual, and classroom‑based solutions—ensuring training is relevant, targeted, and immediately applicable.
We are proud of our customised in‑company training, but never complacent. Our ethos is continuous improvement—whether designing early‑career development programmes tailored to your framework or sourcing new subject matter experts through our trusted community. Whatever your needs, we will craft the right solution and demonstrate why IFFERMA is the first choice for organisations seeking practitioner‑led expertise.
