CAMS Exam Centres in Nigeria and Online Options

CAMS exam centres Nigeria candidates use run through Pearson VUE — either a physical test centre in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and other cities, or online proctoring from a private location. You book through ACAMS once your exam application is approved, then schedule via Pearson VUE. Confirm which local centres currently deliver the CAMS exam before you commit to a date.

Where can I sit the CAMS exam in Nigeria?

You sit CAMS at a Pearson VUE authorised test centre. Pearson VUE operates centres across Nigeria, including in Lagos (around Victoria Island and Ikeja), Abuja, and Port Harcourt, as well as other cities such as Ibadan, Enugu, Kano, and Kaduna.

One caution worth taking seriously: a Pearson VUE centre delivers exams for many different certification bodies, and not every centre necessarily offers every exam. Before you fix on a location, confirm through the Pearson VUE scheduling system that your chosen centre delivers the CAMS exam specifically, on your preferred date.

Can I take the CAMS exam online in Nigeria?

CAMS is offered both at test centres and by online proctoring, where you sit the exam from a private room with a stable internet connection while being monitored remotely. This can be the better option if you are far from a centre, or prefer to test from home or the office.

Online proctoring has stricter environmental requirements — a quiet, private space, a clear desk, and a reliable connection and power supply, which is a real planning point in Nigeria. Confirm that online proctoring is currently available for candidates testing from Nigeria, and check its technical requirements, before relying on it.

How do I book the CAMS exam from Nigeria?

You book after ACAMS approves your exam application: log in through ACAMS, access the Pearson VUE scheduling system, choose either a Nigerian test centre or the online-proctored option, then pick your date. The exam application itself is submitted to ACAMS first and is individual and non-transferable.

Have identification ready that matches your registration exactly — Pearson VUE enforces strict ID checks. If you are still working through eligibility, start with the CAMS eligibility guide; the full path from application to booking is summarised in the CAMS hub.

What should I check before choosing centre or online?

Weigh four things: distance and traffic to the nearest centre on a workday, the reliability of your home connection and power supply if you consider online, the availability of your preferred date at each option, and your own preference for a controlled centre versus a familiar space.

For many Lagos and Abuja candidates, a centre is the low-variance choice — no connection risk on exam day. For candidates outside the main cities, online proctoring can save a costly trip, provided the environment meets requirements. Neither is inherently better; choose the one that removes the most risk for you specifically.
