Do I need a finance degree?
No. Employers care that you can read transaction patterns and write a clean SAR. Both are learnable in weeks.
How long does the diploma take?
Most students finish in 3–6 weeks part-time.
Is the certification recognised?
GACS certificates are issued on a verifiable public URL and accepted by compliance teams as evidence of applied skill. They are not a substitute for regulator-issued licences.
