IIBF CCP vs IIBF CTP: Which Should You Choose?
IIBF's credit and treasury certifications compared: syllabus, exam, training, fees and which one fits your role.
The Certified Credit Professional (CCP) and the Certified Treasury Professional (CTP) are IIBF's two specialist certifications for bank officers, and they are built the same way: one online exam of 100 MCQs in 2 hours, then 3 days of training. What differs is the desk they prepare you for. CCP covers lending, from appraisal and working capital to monitoring and NPAs. CTP covers the treasury, from money markets and bonds to forex and derivatives. Both were renamed: CCP was the Certified Credit Officer course and CTP was Certified Treasury Dealer.

Key differences at a glance
- CCP's syllabus is credit: appraisal, financial statement analysis, working capital (including MPBF and CMA data), other credits, and monitoring and impaired assets.
- CTP's syllabus is treasury: money markets, bond pricing and duration, forex dealing, derivatives, dealing ethics and interest rate maths, across seven modules.
- IIBF and FIMMDA issue the CTP certificate jointly; IIBF issues the CCP certificate.
- CCP is studied from the Banker's Handbook on Credit Management; CTP from IIBF's Treasury Management book plus set chapters of Fabozzi's Handbook of Fixed Income Securities.
- The format is the same: 100 MCQs in 2 hours, no negative marking, 50/100 to pass, then 3 days of training scored out of 50 with 25 to pass, finished within 15 months of the result.
Which should you choose?
Choose CCP if you work in, or are moving to, a credit department, an SME or corporate lending desk, or recovery. Choose CTP if you are posted to the treasury: dealing, mid office, ALM or treasury back office. The exam format, pass marks and fee are the same, so pick by the job, not by difficulty.
