All candidates need to be able to read and write in English. For Certified Trade Finance Professional (CTFP), we recommend that you have +5 years of trade finance experience, or are already certified via the ICC Academy’s Global Trade Certificate (GTC) or The London Institute of Banking and Finance’s (LIBF) CDCS, CSDG or CITF programmes.

The Certified Trade Finance Professional is an advanced programme that targets new managers, product specialists as well as senior transactional bankers covering subjects matters from working capital to supply chain finance. It is also recommended as the next step in the learning pathways for CDCS or CSDG qualification holders. Add to that, CDCS and CSDG holders earn valuable PDUs toward recertification.

Each individual course will take approximately 5-6 hours depending on the level of expertise. To qualify to take the exam you must complete all five core courses and four elective courses.

Candidates will have 12 months to complete the nine courses and take the final exam from date of purchase.

To take the exam and earn the CTFP qualification, you will need to complete all 9 courses – the 5 core courses and 4 elective courses of your choosing. You will be able to select your elective courses once you have purchased the CTFP and logged in to your account. If you pass the exam (70% pass mark), you will receive an industry-recognised ICC Academy certificate, signed by the ICC Secretary General.

Please note that although the individual courses can be purchased separately, they will not qualify you for the certification programme. YOU WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO PURCHASE THE EXAM AND ATTAIN CERTIFICATION IF YOU PURCHASE THE FULL CERTIFICATION PROGRAMME.

Your purchase of the CTFP allows one attempt at the exam. If required, a retake can be purchased for USD $100 if you are still within your 12-month access period. Please contact our Help Desk at helpdesk@iccacademy.com.sg.

At the end of all our individual e-courses, we ask students to rate their experience from 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest rating. We then take an average of all review scores from any of the 11 courses that makes up the CTFP to calculate the overall review score for the certificate programme.
