Who has set the standards for the ACAMS certification program?
ACAMS has created its certification program in cooperation with Applied Measurement Professionals (AMP), an independent testing company, to ensure that the standards of the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) are met. Along with a group of subject-matter experts in the field, AMP conducted a thorough analysis of various aspects of the profession resulting in an international Job Task Analysis. The study has delineated and validated the primary domains, tasks and skills of AML professionals from different employment settings. ACAMS started conducting the Certification Examination in March 2003.
