Some professional goals stay on your mind for a long time before you finally decide to pursue them. Not because they're difficult to start, but because you want to do them the right way.

For Aagam Sheth, Corporate Governance Lead at Alara Resources in Oman, earning the CAMS certification was one of those goals. Working in corporate governance means constantly navigating areas like compliance, risk management, regulatory expectations, and financial crime prevention. As anti-money laundering regulations continue to evolve across industries and jurisdictions, strengthening expertise in this area was a logical next step.

Preparing for a globally recognized certification such as CAMS can feel overwhelming, especially for working professionals managing demanding responsibilities. The syllabus is extensive, and understanding the practical application behind the concepts is just as important as learning the theory. Aagam was looking for guidance that would make the subject matter relatable, relevant, and easier to retain.

What made the difference at Academy of Internal Audit (AIA) was the focus on real-world learning. Rather than relying solely on textbook explanations, concepts were connected to practical scenarios and professional situations. That approach helped bridge the gap between studying for an exam and understanding how anti-money laundering principles work in practice. Equally important was the consistent support from the team, which remained available despite geographical distances and time-zone differences.

Here's what Aagam shared in his Google Review:

"My experience with AIA has been truly amazing. The faculty, especially Mr. Puneet Garg, has been exceptional in explaining concepts through practical, scenario-based examples, which are extremely valuable for professional examinations. The support team, including Sadaf and the entire team, has also been very prompt and supportive, regardless of time zones. I truly appreciate their continuous support, which has played a significant role in helping me clear the qualification."

One thing that stands out in Aagam's journey is the importance of practical understanding. Professional certifications are most valuable when the learning extends beyond the examination itself. By connecting concepts with real-world situations, the knowledge gained becomes something that can be applied throughout a career.

Congratulations, Aagam Sheth, on earning your CAMS certification. Your commitment to continuous learning and professional excellence is commendable. Wishing you continued success as you strengthen your impact in corporate governance, compliance, and anti-money laundering initiatives across the global business landscape.
