Commodity Trading Certification

The concept of commodity trading is not a new phenomenon for Indian retail and institutional investors. The resurgence of the commodity market has triggered a growing need for skilled commodity trading professionals. Subsequently, a number of institutions have started to offer commodity-trading courses in India. Trading of commodities in India used to take place years ago. Compared to stock broking and capital market courses, commodity-trading programs are relatively new, this offers excellent opportunities to early customers. A lack of qualified commodity trading professionals in India has lead to a growing popularity for enrolment in these programs. Successful candidates have career opportunities to become trading officer, marketing manager, tender analyst, iron ore trader, commodity manager, commodity leader and currency leader. There are several universities and private institutes offering commodity trading certification courses. Some of the institutes that offer these courses are:

• National Institute of Export Management (NIEM), Chennai

• Indian Institute of Materials Management (IIMM) Mumbai
