The first batches for CAMS, CDCS, and IELTS are scheduled to begin in July 2026. Register your interest now to be notified of exact dates, schedules, and fee details as soon as they are confirmed.
Are classes live or recorded?+
All classes are conducted live via Zoom, allowing real-time interaction with instructors and fellow students. Every session is recorded and made available to enrolled students, so you can revisit lessons or catch up if you miss a class.
Do I need prior banking experience for CAMS?+
No prior experience is required, though banking professionals will find the contextual examples immediately relatable. Our curriculum covers everything from AML fundamentals through to advanced compliance frameworks, making it accessible for both newcomers and experienced practitioners.
Is a certificate issued after the course?+
Yes. A formal Certificate of Completion is issued to every student who completes their course programme, signed by both co-founders. Additionally, passing any mock exam with a score of 75% or above generates an instant downloadable Certificate of Achievement with your name and score.
What is the pass mark for CAMS?+

Can I take CDCS without trade finance experience?+
A basic understanding of banking is helpful, but our structured CDCS curriculum guides you from fundamentals through to advanced document examination. Our instructor Omar Faruqe's practical approach makes even complex UCP 600 concepts accessible and logical.
How many questions are in the mock exam bank?+
We have over 1,000 questions for CAMS and 1,000 for CDCS, all modelled on official exam blueprints. Every question includes a detailed explanation of the correct answer. The question bank is continually updated as we add more questions from our collection.
