Eligibility Requirements

Candidates may enroll in the Certified Treasury Professional program and begin taking the exam before the Education and Experience Requirements have been fully satisfied, but will not be awarded the credential until all requirements have been met. You must complete these program requirements by your application expiration date. Applications are valid for six consecutive testing windows. If you are unable to complete the program requirements and earn your certification within this time frame, you must pay the new applicant fees and retake the exam.

The professional experience requirement to earn the CTP credential is a minimum of two years full-time work experience in a career-based corporate cash/treasury management or corporate finance-related position. Positions such as internships, vacation/holiday employment or volunteer positions do not qualify in meeting the full-time experience requirement. You must complete these program requirements by your application expiration date.  Applications are valid for six consecutive testing windows.  If you are unable to complete the program requirements and earn your certification within this time frame, you must pay the new applicant fees and retake the exam.

All applicants must complete the Report of Experience and/or Education form located in the online application. Relevant work experience should be outlined on this form.

An advanced business degree from a graduate-level program is equivalent to one year of work experience. In order to qualify for this equivalent experience, a transcript or copy of the graduate degree must be uploaded through the online application or emailed to [email protected].  Please do not send transcripts of bachelor's degrees.

The AFP Certification Committee is the final judge of an individual’s qualifications to sit for the CTP examination. The committee will consider applicant appeals with respect to exceptional circumstances. The committee also reserves the right to verify an applicant’s eligibility through random audits.

All information must be included with your application. Applications will not be reviewed for eligibility until all documentation (including transcripts, if required) and fees have been received by AFP. Applicants who are deemed eligible for the examination will receive a confirmation email from AFP. Applicants deemed ineligible to sit for the CTP examination will receive ineligibility notification and a refund of the application and examination fee, as well as the non-member differential (if applicable). Applicants who choose to cancel their application after submission will receive a refund of the examination fee (only).
