5. GRC Professional
GRC Professionals (GRCP) help their companies operate more efficiently through their knowledge of corporate governance and enterprise risk management and compliance with related laws and industry regulations, according to Global Knowledge.
The two-hour GRCP exam consists of 100 multiple-choice questions, Global Knowledge said, and those wishing to maintain their certification must pay an annual renewal fee and participate in continuing education. Businesses tend to institute GRC activities once they reach a certain size to ensure efficient operations, and the need for GRC Professionals continues to increase.
Governance certifications are held by 13 Global Knowledge survey respondents with an average salary of $110,216.
