Praise for Advanced Certification
“CAMS-FCI is a training opportunity like no other. I wish the upcoming students similar success stories like the ones I have had utilizing the TBML case study and the fact that in 2014 we have received the same number of law enforcement requests for respective agencies for SAR supporting docs in the first 3 quarters of 2014 as we have total in the past 3 years. Law Enforcement compliments our SAR narratives and uses them as examples now in their training; our auditor just said she wished every bank wrote SAR narratives like we do… I owe a lot of the success and recent increase in law enforcement requests of our SARs to CAMS-FCI and the training we brought back to our team.” - Lauren Kohr, CAMS-FCI
“The hardest part was having to leave after the three days.”- Donna Davidek, CAMS-Audit
“The quality and reliability of my work as an AML auditor is of paramount importance to me. I signed up for the ACAMS Audit class to gain insight and knowledge from instructors’ experience conducting independent AML audits from the instructors. What I received was far more: the experience, insights and knowledge not only of the expert instructors but also of my classmates.” - Vicki Landon, CAMS-Audit
