About the Qualification
The 2018 ICC Global Survey revealed that there were an estimated $9 trillion USD worth of trade finance transactions processed in 2018 and another report by the Boston Consulting group suggested trade finance revenues would hit $48 billion in the next three years.
However, there is still estimated to be trillions of dollars’ worth of unmet needs.
The Certified Trade Finance Professional (CTFP) will give students an in-depth knowledge of trade finance products. Using detailed case studies (28 in total) and an emphasis on real-world scenarios, this intensive online programme focuses on key trade finance products, techniques and compliance issues.
The industry-validated syllabus was developed by a group of 13 leading trade finance experts drawn from ICC’s Banking Commission. Each e-course has been tailor-made to develop the skills needed to sell, deliver and process global trade finance solutions.
