CAMS Certification Course Singapore: Programme at a Glance
Prepare for the Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist credential through active Singapore classroom batches or live online teaching. EduDelphi combines experienced financial-crime faculty, practical cases, a strong LMS, extensive question practice and direct learner support.
What is CAMS certification?
CAMS is the Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist credential administered by ACAMS. It is designed for professionals working across AML, KYC, financial-crime compliance, sanctions, transaction monitoring, investigations and related risk functions. EduDelphi provides independent CAMS preparation; ACAMS controls eligibility, membership, the official exam and certification.

| EduDelphi preparation | Official ACAMS route |

CAMS Course Syllabus and Exam Weights
The programme follows the current four-area CAMS blueprint and connects each area through practical financial-crime decisions.
1. Understanding Risks and Methods of Financial Crime — 30%
Money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation financing; predicate offences; fraud and cyber-enabled crime; customer, product, channel and geographic risks; typologies, methods and red flags.
2. Global AFC Frameworks, Governance and Regulations — 20%
The risk-based approach, global standards, regulatory expectations, governance, financial intelligence units, law enforcement, cross-border cooperation and sanctions frameworks.
3. Building an AFC Compliance Programme — 30%
Enterprise risk assessment, policies, roles and accountability, CDD, EDD, beneficial ownership, monitoring, escalation, reporting, testing, training and programme improvement.
4. Tools and Technologies to Fight Financial Crime — 20%
Digital onboarding and e-KYC; identity, biometrics and liveness; customer and sanctions screening; fuzzy matching; perpetual KYC; payment and transaction screening; SWIFT and blockchain transactions; transaction-monitoring segmentation and threshold tuning; data quality; AI/ML-supported controls; investigation automation; network analysis; privacy and tool governance.
What changed in the enhanced CAMS programme?
CAMS now uses four modernised core learning areas covering wider financial-crime risks, governance, programme design and financial-crime technology. ACAMS also includes two sector or jurisdiction electives in its official package. EduDelphi preparation follows this current structure rather than the older CAMS syllabus still found on some training websites.
How EduDelphi teaches the syllabus
Classes connect the subjects instead of treating them as separate chapters. A transaction-monitoring alert may involve customer risk, beneficial ownership, sanctions, investigation quality, escalation and governance at the same time. This connected reasoning matters in both CAMS questions and real AML work.
How CAMS Skills Apply in Singapore
Singapore’s position as an international financial, wealth, payments and trade centre creates complex cross-border financial-crime risks. The course uses local and regional applications without turning global CAMS preparation into a narrow regulatory seminar.
| Singapore responsibility | CAMS preparation connection |
|---|---|
| Customer risk, CDD and EDD | Risk factors, source of funds and wealth, beneficial ownership, PEPs and escalation. |
| Transaction monitoring | Alert context, unusual activity, investigation, documentation and disposition quality. |
| Suspicious transaction reporting | Suspicion assessment, internal escalation and STRO/SONAR context. |
| Sanctions and proliferation financing | Screening, ownership and control, evasion indicators, governance and escalation. |
| Wealth and private banking | Complex structures, cross-border customers, higher-risk relationships and EDD. |
| Payments, fintech and digital assets | Product and channel risk, monitoring, technology, typologies and emerging threats. |
| Trade and regional business | Counterparty risk, documents, trade-based money-laundering indicators and escalation. |
Course discussion may reference MAS, STRO, SONAR and FATF/APG materials for professional context. It does not replace legal advice or an organisation’s own policies.
Regional Payments Case: Escalate, Restrict or Investigate Further?
An established Singapore corporate customer begins making rapid cross-border transfers. Its beneficial owner has recently changed, yet its counterparties have plausible commercial names and the initial source-of-funds documents partly reconcile.
The risk picture is mixed: transfer volumes contradict the customer profile, one director is linked to an adverse-media network, the beneficiary pattern overlaps with another investigation, screening finds no true sanctions match, and the relationship manager argues that delaying payments could damage the client relationship.
Learners decide
- which evidence matters most and what remains missing
- whether additional EDD is proportionate
- how to handle commercial pressure without weakening controls
- whether to escalate, restrict activity or investigate further
- how to document a clear risk-based decision
Why this matters for CAMS: several actions may appear reasonable. The exam often tests which action is strongest given the evidence, responsibilities and correct sequence.
CAMS Exam Format, Results and Retake Rules
| Exam question | Current ACAMS position |
|---|---|
| When can I retake CAMS? | After a first unsuccessful attempt, wait 30 days. After the second, wait 60 days. After the third and later attempts, wait 90 days. |
| What does a retake cost? | ACAMS currently lists the CAMS exam retake at US$299. |
| Can I extend exam authorisation? | ACAMS currently lists a two-month extension at US$100. Request it before the existing authorisation expires. |
How the course prepares you for CAMS questions
Practice moves from topic questions to integrated scenarios and full mocks. Faculty explain why the best answer is strongest, why close alternatives are weaker and how to manage time, uncertainty and risk-based judgement.
Official rules and fees can change. Check the current ACAMS candidate information before purchasing or booking.
How CAMS Eligibility Credits Work
ACAMS currently requires active membership and at least 40 eligibility credits. Credits can come from qualifying education, relevant professional experience and financial-crime training. ACAMS makes the final decision.
| Credit source | Typical current credit value |
|---|---|
| Associate degree or equivalent | 10 credits |
| Bachelor’s degree or equivalent | 20 credits |
| Master’s degree or equivalent | 30 credits |
| JD or PhD | 40 credits |
| Relevant anti-financial-crime experience | 10 credits for each full year |
| Relevant financial-crime training | Generally 1 credit per training hour, subject to ACAMS review |
Can EduDelphi training support my eligibility application?
ACAMS states that qualifying third-party financial-crime training may be submitted with supporting documentation. EduDelphi provides a Certificate of Training, but ACAMS alone decides whether training is accepted and how many credits apply.
