J'ai passé l'examen du CAMS ce matin et j'ai été désagréablement surpris par l'écart entre la formation et l'examen. ​J'ai réussi l'examen avec un score de 84/120, soit 70 % de bonnes réponses. Or sur les tests en ligne de l'ACAMS (755 questions), mon taux de bonnes réponses était de 87 %, soit 105/120. Comment un tel écart est-il possible ? La formation et les tests en ligne ne reflètent que très partiellement l'examen. Mon expérience et la logique ont contribué à répondre à de nombreuses questions. ​Dans la formation, il y a une option pour des classes virtuelles qui avaient été souscrites par mon employeur. Si vous financez vous-même la formation, je ne pense pas que cela soit réellement utile.

Went to event in Toronto about a week ago, was informative and inspiring event. Look forward o others

Important certification for us. Regulator sometime require. Good resources in English, want more in chinese language

I have been CAMS certified since 2016 and would recommend this certification to any professional.

I attempted to purchase a one-year Private Sector membership on 19/20 February 2026. However, the system failed to provide a payment confirmation page or email - nothing indicating the payment went through or not, as well as no 3d secure password for me to approve the payment. The website even displayed an error message when I attempted to pay, evidencing that the payment did not complete. Presuming the transaction had failed, I attempted the payment more times with three different credit cards, but again received no payment confirmation. Upon checking my credit card statements, I discovered that I have been charged SEVEN TIMES in total for the membership fee through three different credit cards!!! Furthermore, my ACAMS account has not been updated and still does not reflect an active membership status!!! I contacted ACAMS via several channels, including the Help Center on their website and their LinkedIn profile. Absolutely no response! And I am reading here that they take WEEKS OR EVEN MONTHS to reply. This is ILLEGAL, UNETHICAL, UNACCEPTABLE and UTTER DISRESPECT FOR CUSTOMERS. Period. I request IMMEDIATE refund of these membership charges & manual update of my account status to reflect my active 1-year membership. Frankly, I find it utterly SHOCKING that an institution of ACAMS's global standing lacks a reliable automated confirmation system and a 24/7 support centre, particularly given the high fees involved. While I was looking forward to pursuing the CAMS Certification, the lack of technical reliability and support during this process has significantly undermined my confidence in ACAMS.

I am writing to document my extreme dissatisfaction with both the billing process and the overall value of CAMS membership. First, I have been provided with incorrect pricing information on four separate occasions, resulting in significant confusion and inconvenience. Here is the chronological breakdown of the erroneous information: Initial Price: I was first incorrectly quoted only $200 USD. First Correction: I was then told the total was $200 plus an additional $525 USD for membership. Third Price: I was subsequently informed the correct membership fee is $750 USD (pre-tax). Fourth Price: While I was still trying to resolve the $750 demand, I have just received another separate email demanding $825. This situation is particularly frustrating because had I simply paid the initial $825 total that was showing on my ACAMS portal before proactively reaching out, this entire series of errors would have been avoided. Given the $200 I have already paid, I am now being asked for $750 (totaling $950), while simultaneously being billed for $825. Second, this administrative chaos only reinforces my concern that the value of CAMS has dropped tremendously. The membership benefits have been diluted, while prices for services like webinars have become exorbitant—charging hundreds for live access, and hundreds more to view the recording. When credible alternative providers like the International Compliance Association (ICA) exist, why would anyone want to be associated with an organization that demonstrates this level of incompetence and disregard for its members?

Supposed to be a professional licensing organization. More likely to find professionals at a lemonade stand run by toddlers. Organization is willing to lie to you, mislead you and outright never get their information correct...but still somehow expects full payment. Customer support is sort of helpful, but also the ones that lied. I love the feeling of being defrauded by the organization that certifies I can work in anti-fraud.

For me ACAMS turned out to be a waste of money unfortunately. Material provided doesn't worth the price they charge for the course plus a very high cost of yearly membership that gives you nothing apart from useless webinars. I don't recommend it at all. Save your money and do a course that actually will make a difference.
