A current guide to CTP eligibility, Pearson VUE scheduling, 170-question structure, unscored items, and treasury domain preparation.
The CTP credential is built for treasury and corporate finance professionals who manage cash, liquidity, working capital, capital markets, and treasury operations. Use this guide to align eligibility, application timing, domain study, and exam-day logistics.
Use these points to confirm your AFP application path and build a study plan around the official CTP structure.
The CTP credential is sponsored by AFP and delivered through Pearson VUE after AFP application and eligibility steps.
AFP lists a minimum of two years of full-time corporate cash, treasury management, or corporate finance experience for the credential.
Applications are valid for six consecutive testing windows, and candidates must complete program requirements before expiration.
The exam has 170 multiple-choice questions and 3.5 testing hours.
Each CTP exam contains 20 unscored questions, so candidates should pace every item as if it counts.
Study corporate treasury, cash and liquidity, working capital, capital markets and funding, and treasury operations and controls.
Before scheduling with Pearson VUE, candidates need AFP application approval, fee payment, and name details that match accepted identification.
CTP prep should connect cash forecasting, liquidity, working capital, risk, capital markets, governance, policies, and treasury systems instead of isolating formulas.
The 20 unscored questions are not identified, so candidates need a steady pace and should not spend time trying to guess which items are experimental.
If experience requirements are not complete before the exam, track work history and any advanced business degree equivalency before the application expires.

The Certified Treasury Professional credential is sponsored by the Association for Financial Professionals and administered through Pearson VUE after candidates apply to AFP, receive eligibility to test, and pay the required application and exam fees. AFP states that candidates can begin taking the exam before all education and experience requirements are fully satisfied, but the credential is not awarded until requirements are met. The professional experience requirement is a minimum of two years of full-time corporate cash, treasury management, or corporate finance-related work; an advanced business degree can count as one year of experience.
The CTP exam contains 170 multiple-choice questions in 3.5 testing hours, including 20 unscored questions. AFP's exam one-pager organizes the test around the corporate treasury function, cash and liquidity management, working capital management, capital markets and funding, and treasury operations and controls. Preparation should emphasize cash forecasting, payment and collection systems, short-term investing and borrowing, risk management, treasury policies, capital structure, capital market investments, financial accounting, governance, ethics, systems, and operational risk.
