In view of the contractual agreement between the House of Training and ACAMS, each registration for this programme is subject to specific conditions of sale. In fact, only full payment of the registration fee will validate your enrolment in the programme and give you access to the course materials in PDF format.

Practical arrangements:

• The training will be held in virtual format.  

• Certificates of attendance will be sent automatically after the course.

• Certificate of success will be sent directly from ACAMS to successful candidates, after they pass the exam

As initially proposed, the original CAFS material from ACAMS will be summarized and condensed into an 16-hour session. This two-day format may be especially appealing to executives who are unable to commit to extended training periods.

This advanced certificate has been developed to complement your existing knowledge of Anti-Bribery and Corruption practices and to continue to develop your skills in this area. You will deepen your knowledge and skills through in-depth analysis of international and national regulations, the review of different types of corruption (including internal and external threats), and exploration of various mitigating solutions.

This training is intended as a focused preparation for the Certified Anti-Fraud Specialist (CAFS) exam. However, it is important to emphasize that this session does not replace the need for thorough individual study using the official ACAMS materials. Please note that preparation takes approximatively 80 hours for CAFS. Participants are strongly encouraged to review the Study Guide, Flash Cards, Review Questions, Practice Exam, and Additional References provided by ACAMS to ensure comprehensive exam readiness.
