CTP At-a-Glance

  • When submitting your application you must choose a testing window that you would like to sit for — either June/July or December/January. Please be sure to check the deadlines and fees page for more information regarding testing windows
  • The CTP examination is based on the Essentials of Treasury Management. If you prefer a more comprehensive online study tool we also offer the CTP Exam Prep Platform. Other preparation options can be found here

You can select any day during that two month period of time to take the examination based on the availability of the testing center closest to you. For more information on locations click here
  • Every new application is valid for six consecutive testing windows (or three years), which means you have multiple opportunities to take the examination before having to submit a new application
    • During those six testing windows you can submit a re-registration, and/or deferral request
    • After your sixth and final testing window you will be required to submit a new application in order to test
