CTFP for Teams | Enquire now

"I enrolled in the CTFP because this certification is authored by leading trade finance experts from the ICC’s Banking Commission, making it one of the most credible programmes available in the market. Each course is structured to ensure the essentials of global trade finance have been sufficiently covered."

"I see the CTFP as a perfect way for any trade finance person to (a) be part of a global community and (b) have a certification that highlights your expertise and automatically puts you at a certain level that is respected in the industry."

Clients have specifically requested CTFP holders for presentations on trade finance digitisation and risk mitigation, reflecting tangible commercial trust and a higher perceived value in customer relationships.

Customers have also shown greater confidence in my advice, especially when dealing with complex documentation and payment terms, knowing that I hold an internationally recognised qualification from ICC.

While I gained hands-on operational experience, I recognised that advancing to a senior and strategic role required a structured, globally benchmarked understanding of trade finance.

While I had hands-on experience in export operations, I lacked formal training from a recognized rulemaking institution—particularly in import trade operations, guarantees, and the practical application of trade rules. This limited my confidence in advising customers and supporting strategic decisions.

The biggest benefit…has been the ability to apply globally standardised trade finance knowledge to real-world banking operations.

I have added this qualification to my LinkedIn profile and I am sure that it has helped with the many job offers that have been referred to me.
