Registered Training Providers (RTPs) are independent institutions that may offer preparatory training programs for individuals who wish to sit for the PFM Examination. RTPs are required to maintain their own training materials and delivery standards while referencing the publicly available PFM Body of Knowledge as a framework.

Participation in training conducted by any RTP is entirely voluntary. Enrolling in such training is not a requirement for certification and has no influence on IFMI’s certification decisions. Certification is awarded solely on the basis of a candidate’s performance in the PFM Examination.

RTPs operate independently from IFMI’s certification function. Their training programs, materials, and promotional activities are their own responsibility, and IFMI does not oversee or endorse their content.

For transparency, IFMI publishes the names of institutions that have signed cooperation agreements as Registered Training Providers.
