Treasury Certification Verdict
The CTP emerged out to the earlier Certificate Cash Manager (CCM) certification. In essence it is still a cash management certification but has evolved over the years to include a lot more treasury management areas. It has to be said though that it is very much US focussed with little or no reference to international products, services and or cash management techniques.
The CTP is without a doubt the main treasury certification in North America and a must for all working (or seeking to work) in corporate treasury or transaction banking in the region. It is also the most cost effective treasury certification around.

What students say
“The topics of the CTP certification cover all the important aspects of treasury; however, it is a shame that the AFP annual membership fee is $500.
The certification has enabled me to gain higher trust and confidence from management.”

Finance & Treasury Manager, Philippines
“The CTP exam was really long and the software to present it is not the best. I found out that It’s a self-teaching course which I enjoyed because it was really challenging for me
I was able to leverage a promotion and clear many doubts I had in my previous job. At least in Colombia nobody teaches you treasury, so doing the CTP helped me understand the theories behind the practice. which I enjoyed because it was really challenging for me.”
