Senior Trade Finance Specialist, Canada
“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.”
Ling Fong Tay
Head of Transaction Services, Singapore
“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.”
Praveenkumar Miriyala
Senior Trade Specialist, India
"The Incoterms® 2020 qualification gives me an edge. Getting training directly from the 'horse's mouth' is more valuable to me - and other people looking to work with me - than having my knowledge certified by a third party who has not created the Incoterms® rules."
