Once you have passed the Certificate in Treasury, you have successfully completed the second step in your ACT membership journey.
When you have received confirmation of passing, you are eligible to use the designatory letters CertT after your name.
Designatory letters are a mark of differentiation on your business card and in your professional title. It is these letters after your name that ultimately help you stand out. Your membership of the chartered body for treasury shows your onward commitment to your profession. It also instils confidence in employers, colleagues, and clients alike that you are maintaining the very highest professional standards.
You can use the designatory letters for as long as you remain a member of the ACT.
