CTP Exam Intensive Review Course: 2026A Window

Description

This review course provides an intensive review of the Essentials of Treasury Management, 8th edition. In addition to reviewing the chapter materials, we will also discuss and implement test-taking strategies throughout each session. This should help participants to better understand the ways that test questions are created from the content. The course is structured to cover the chapters in an efficient and effective way over the four-day period. For this reason, chapters that are expected to have a lower impact on exam performance will receive less coverage time. As time permits, I will review retired CTP exam questions.
