The Association for Financial Professionals (AFP) and Smart Train  have announced a formal partnership to offer exam preparation courses for finance professionals based in Vietnam. The courses will equip financial professionals with the tools they need to earn the Certified Treasury Professional (CTP) certification.

By partnering together, AFP and Smart Train are providing finance professionals in Vietnam with a new path to earn this prestigious designation. Students will learn from instructors that have extensive experience in teaching and senior positions, as well as knowledge in effective academic methods that help achieve the best exam results.

“This collaboration with Smart Train helps AFP bring the premier certification for the finance profession to Vietnam,” said Himashi Soriano, managing director of APAC. “AFP understands the importance of preparing leaders and specialists in this area, and those that hold this certification are making a long-term commitment their career. This path to earning AFP’s CTP credential will help practitioners distinguish themselves among their peers and gain even more skills as they prepare for the exam.”
