CAMS Certification

The Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (ACAMS) is the Global Gold Standard in Anti-money laundering certifications. The credentials are recognized worldwide by employers in both private and public sectors locally and internationally, such as governments, financial institutions and regulators.

To earn the Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS) Certification, professionals must pass a proctored exam. Obtaining a CAMS-certification distinguishes you as having qualified knowledge on AML and counterterrorist financing. Additionally, the exposure to local and international case studies enables you to better mitigate financial crime risks in your organization. The CAMS certification keeps anti-money laundering specialists aware of new industry trends. We can help you reach your goal to achieve the CAMS certification.

The study group provided by Compliance Services Caribbean is a tool intended to support all candidates. The self-study approach makes it also ideal for candidates with full-time employment. Participants are provided study materials and tools and engage in self-study at a comfortable pace. By preparing for and passing the CAMS exam, candidates strengthen their knowledge and expand their expertise.

To help candidates to achieve the CAMS certification, 6 meetings are organized in which all chapters of the study material are discussed. Candidates will be studying a chapter of the study material every week. In this way we support the participants and work jointly with the goal of successful completion of the CAMS exam.
