To be eligible for the AFP CTP candidates must meet certain educational and professional requirements:
Experience Requirement: You must have at least two years of full-time professional experience in a treasury or finance-related role.
Educational Requirement: A degree in finance, accounting, or a related field may substitute part of the experience requirement.
Alternatively, a candidate can qualify by possessing four years of relevant work experience without a degree.
The AFP CTP Exam Application Process
The exam is offered twice annually during specific testing windows: in the summer (June-July) and winter (December-January). Candidates must apply during the designated registration period before their desired testing window.
The application process involves the following steps:
Submit Your Application: Apply for the AFP CTP exam by filling out the online application form on the AFP website. You will need to provide your education details, work experience, and personal information.
Application Review: The AFP will review your application to ensure you meet the eligibility criteria.
Pay the Exam Fees: Once your application is accepted, you must pay the exam registration fee. The fee for AFP members is lower than for non-members, so consider joining the AFP if you haven't already.
Schedule Your Exam: After payment, you can schedule your exam date and location through Pearson VUE, the official testing provider for the AFP CTP exam.
