Endur, now part of ION’s commodities portfolio, is one of the most widely deployed Energy Trading and Risk Management (ETRM) platforms in the world, running trade capture, valuation, scheduling, settlements, accounting, and risk analytics for energy, power, and commodity trading firms. kodestree’s Endur Certification Course Online takes you from platform fundamentals to advanced configuration and AI-assisted risk analytics, using real trading scenarios so you can step into an Endur project on day one.
Prerequisites
No prior hands-on Endur experience is required to join this Endur Training program. That said, learners get the most value when they come in with:
- A basic understanding of trading, finance, or commodity markets (energy, power, gas, oil, or agri-commodities).
- Familiarity with core risk concepts such as mark-to-market, P&L, and exposure – helpful but not mandatory.
- Comfort working with enterprise business applications; SQL or scripting exposure is a bonus for the configuration modules, not a requirement.
- A Windows machine with a stable internet connection to access the live virtual lab environment.
Business analysts, IT professionals, and career switchers from non-trading backgrounds regularly complete this Endur Course successfully – the curriculum builds every concept from first principles before moving into configuration and scripting.

- Configure scheduling, logistics, and physical delivery workflows for power, gas, and other commodities.
- Customize Endur using the platform’s scripting and configuration tools (JVS-based customization, user-defined fields, workflow rules).
