Ejerciar is a non-standard variant; the normative Spanish verb is ejercer (an irregular -er verb). Some speakers form ejerciar by analogy with regular -ar verbs, but it is not accepted by the RAE. In learner dictionaries it may appear as a regional or colloquial form. Prefer ejercer in formal writing.
