| Criteria | This Course ACAMS (CAMS) – Our Course in Kenya |
Alternative 1 General AML Short Courses (Local) |
Alternative 2 Broad Compliance Certifications |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary focus | Global AML/CFT & financial crime specialisation | Introductory AML awareness | Wider regulatory & governance focus |
| Best suited for | Professionals building specialist AML / AFC careers in Kenya and beyond | Teams and staff needing basic AML sensitisation | Compliance, legal, and governance roles seeking broad exposure |
| Exam structure | 120-question, 3.5-hour proctored CAMS exam | Usually no global proctored exam | Varies by certification body |
