The CTP and CTA designation is a signal to clients, judges, and referral sources that a person has both demonstrated technical proficiency over course material vital to the turnaround profession and possess significant experience leading restructurings. In addition, TMA is developing programs to accelerate and assist CTPs and CTAs in their professional practice. These programs include marketing CTPs as the premier designation for turnaround professionals, reaching out to media outlets to promote the CTP designation, as well as individual CTPs, and providing CTAs and CTPs access to CTP veterans who can assist in their professional development.
