CCFE Eligibility and Registration
The gate is your employer, not your degree. Here is who qualifies and how registration actually works.
CCFE eligibility is unusual among IIBF certificates: the gate is your employer, not your education. The course is open to employees of Authorised Dealer (AD) member banks of FEDAI. No specific academic qualification is prescribed and there is no age limit; the design target is banking professionals who handle, or want to handle, foreign exchange.
Registration is per attempt, online, on the IIBF portal. This page covers who qualifies and the steps from registration to exam day.

Who Is Eligible for the CCFE Exam?
Employees of Authorised Dealer (AD) member banks of FEDAI are eligible for CCFE. IIBF membership is not the gate; members and non-members from such banks can appear. No academic qualification is prescribed and there is no prescribed age limit.
If you are unsure whether your bank is an AD member of FEDAI, your forex or trade-finance department will know, and FEDAI publishes its member list.
