CACM Review Courses and Examination Control
The American Anti-Corruption Institute (AACI) maintains exclusive authority and full control over the Certified Anti-Corruption Manager (CACM) examination and the delivery of CACM Review Courses, whether conducted within the United States or in any other country.
While The AACI generally does not organize CACM Review Courses directly, it collaborates with qualified local partners to host such courses internationally. These collaborations, however, do not diminish or delegate The AACI’s control. At all times, The AACI retains complete responsibility for the delivery, content, standards, and conduct of both the CACM exam and the CACM Review Course. This ensures that the program is delivered in accordance with uniform quality standards globally.
Attendance at a CACM Review Course is not mandatory for CACM candidates. However, those who choose to attend a U.S.-based CACM Review Course should note that the minimum course fee is USD 3,750, which includes the CACM exam fee.
For international courses, qualified third-party partners organize the CACM Review Courses, while The AACI oversees their delivery and administers the CACM exam to maintain the integrity and consistency of the program.
