CAMS – Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist

Introduction

Compliance Services Caribbean can help you reach your goal to achieve the Anti Money Laundering certification, known as CAMS – Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist.

CAMS is originally intended for self-study, but many of us have trouble to study by ourselves and to go through the curriculum all by ourselves, especially because many of us work and are trying to study for CAMS in our free time. The study group provided by Compliance Services Caribbean is a tool intended to support students, who go through the curriculum by themselves and come with their questions or concerns during the study group meetings to discuss them.

In order to help the students to achieve the CAMS certification by properly preparing for the exam, we organize 6 meetings in which the various chapters of the study material are discussed. The participants will be studying a chapter of the curriculum every two weeks. In this way we support the students and work jointly with the goal of successful completion of the ACAMS exam.
