The CTP designation is the highest accreditation a turnaround professional can achieve. The Association of Turnaround Professionals established the Certified Turnaround Professional (CTP) designation, a program that established quality standards for an otherwise unregulated profession. Applicants must meet specific standards of education, experience, and professional conduct. They must also successfully complete a series of rigorous examinations that cover financial and managerial accounting, turnaround and crisis management, and bankruptcy and UCC law. CTPs are required to participate in continuing education programs to maintain their certification.
