Testimonials
The biggest benefit of obtaining the CTFP so far, has been a significant enhancement in my ability to independently assess and mitigate complex risks in trade transactions, leading to more confident and swift decision-making.
"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."
A major problem I faced before the CTFP was career stagnation. However, within a year of completing the CTFP certification I was able to secure a better job opportunity. After this, it has been one job opportunity after another.
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.
The CTFP has raised my profile among my colleagues and positioned me as an internal expert on trade finance matters. My increased credibility means I have been selected to attend most customer engagements for my bank.
The biggest benefit…has been the ability to apply globally standardised trade finance knowledge to real-world banking operations.
"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."
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.
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.
