Friends, I am leaning towards taking CTP (Certified Treasury Professional) certification in December, before taking L2 in Jun '10.

I am in Singapore and working in Treasury domain. This CTP is provided by AFP (Association of Finance Professionals). I know of AFP but never knew of CTP.

My question is; is CTP known and recognized in US, Canada, Europe region? Have any of you heard of this certification?

My inclination towards CTP is more for the comprehensive knowledge in that domain. But if it well recognized in that region, it could be an added value
