Hello, how can we help?
ACAMS Certificates View All
Prerequisites are rare, and are identified in the syllabus for each course. Most courses start with the “Essentials” and works up to just the right depth for staff at all levels to apply to your specific programs and systems.
Is this appropriate for people who are CAMS certified?- “AML Foundations” is explicitly aligned with CAMS and could be good preparation for the exam.
- All other certificates are ideal for CAMS graduates because the courses have much more depth about each specific topic than the exam prep materials for CAMS.
The courses are written and presented by subject matter experts working around the world. They pull examples from many countries and, as such, are globally appropriate.
Is the course appropriate for my industry?Yes, the lessons and examples are relevant to any industry. A primary focus is “financial institutions” (in all varieties).
The learning management system (LMS) learning path will guide you. ACAMS might also email you occasional reminders, especially before live events.
The learning management system (LMS) learning path isn’t allowing me to access ______.Required content is indicated in the LMS. Be sure you have completed the previous dependencies, including showing completion where instructed to do so.
The learning management system (LMS) learning path shows that I completed ______, but I haven’t yet.You might have accidentally marked a specific section complete. It’s OK. You can still access that part. Just follow the instructions to complete the work and, when finished, move on.
I watched a video, but it doesn’t show as complete.You will not be able to move on to the next session if you quit the video before the end. If this is the case, you must resume and watch the rest of the video from where you stopped earlier. Once you watch the whole video, it should be marked as complete.
I can’t complete the homework because I can’t access/find the specified discussion forum on ACAMS.org.The learning management system (LMS) learning path has a PDF homework assignment with links to the discussion forum. Please follow the homework instructions carefully and ensure you have tried using these links to the discussion forum before reaching out to ACAMS for help.
I lost my learning management system (LMS) password.You can reset your password here.
What happens if I miss a live event?A recording will be available to you on the learning management system (LMS) learning path a few days after each live event. Whether you attend live or watch a recording, you still get credit for participating in that event.
Can I purchase after the start date?Yes.
- If you intend to participate in live events, we recommend that you do them in sequence, which means you might have to hurry to catch up with other learners.
- If you do not intend to participate in live events, you have more flexibility but must still complete all parts of the learning management system (LMS) learning path before the expiration date.
Access to course materials typically expires four weeks from the course start date. To earn the certificate, you must complete all parts of the learning management system (LMS) learning path before your access ends.
I started the course but did not complete on time. May I get an extension beyond the deadline (e.g., because I was out sick on the last day of access, or I miscounted the weeks, or I keep failing the assessment)?You can choose between the following two options:
- We can extend your access in the learning management system (LMS) by one week from the original date. You can quickly complete all parts and if you missed a live event, you would need to watch the recording.
- Or we can re-enroll you in the next available series (probably starting within a month or two).
ACAMS current refund policy can be found here.
All online certificates have a 20-question final assessment - the minimum passing score is 80% and multiple attempts are allowed.
How can I return to the assessment for future reference, or to see which questions I missed?You cannot. The assessment is confidential and cannot be accessed once you pass it. This is intended to protect the integrity of the assessment.
How can I get my certificate? Does it expire?Download the PDF directly from the ACAMS learning management system (LMS). It will appear when you successfully complete the course. The certificate does not expire.
What credits do I get? How do I request them? Do they expire?We automatically add the eligible ACAMS credits to your account when you complete the course.
