ID RequirementsTwo forms of ID required at the test center: one must be a government-issued photo ID (passport, driver's license, national ID). The name must match exactly the name on the exam registration.
RenewalRequired -- CTP: 36 Recertification Credit Hours (RCHs) within the 3-year certification period. FP&A: 30 RCHs within the 3-year certification period. RCHs are earned through AFP conference attendance, webinars, academic courses, and other approved continuing education activities. Alternatively, lapsed credential holders may retake the exam.
PrerequisitesMust hold a previously earned CTP credential that has lapsed. Active CTPs renew via Recertification Credit Hours (RCHs), not this exam. (recommended)
Retake PolicyCandidates who fail must wait 90 days before retaking the exam. Full exam fee is required for each retake attempt. Contact AFP for current retake policies.
