Certificate in Accounting and Management Skills (CAMS)

Uwezo College – Accredited KASNEB Training Centre

The Certificate in Accounting and Management Skills (CAMS) is a foundational KASNEB qualification designed to prepare learners for careers in accounting, financial management, business operations, and office administration. At Uwezo College, we offer the full CAMS program—Levels 1 and 2 combined—aligned with the revised KASNEB syllabus and structured to develop practical, job-ready skills for both the workplace and further professional progression into ATD, CPA, CIFA, CS, and other business programs.

Entry Requirements

To enroll for the complete CAMS program at Uwezo College, a student must have:

• A KCSE Certificate, or
• Any other KASNEB-recognized equivalent qualification

This makes CAMS the most accessible starting point for school leavers, graduates, and individuals seeking an entry-level qualification in accounting and business management.

 

KASNEB Registration Fee – Ksh 3,550

Learners joining the CAMS program must register with KASNEB, the examining body.
The official KASNEB registration fee is Ksh 3,550.

Examination Fees is as follows:

CAMS Level 1: Ksh 800.00 per unit

CAMS Level 2: Ksh 1,000.00 per unit

Registration is done directly through the KASNEB portal, and Uwezo College guides all new students through the entire registration and examination booking process to ensure a smooth experience.

 

Course Overview – CAMS Levels 1 & 2 Combined

The CAMS program consists of two progressive levels, each designed to build strong foundational competencies.

CAMS Level 1 – Basic Accounting and Business Foundations

This foundational stage introduces learners to:

• Basic accounting principles
• Business operations and entrepreneurship
• Communication and life skills
• Business mathematics and logical reasoning

The goal of Level 1 is to equip students with essential workplace knowledge and prepare them for deeper learning.

CAMS Level 2 – Applied Skills and Practical Competence

Level 2 advances learners into:

• Preparation and maintenance of accounting records
• Processing financial transactions
• Professional business communication
• Clerical and office administration procedures
• Practical application of business and financial principles

By the end of Level 2, learners are fully prepared for entry-level accounting roles and ready to progress to ATD Level 1 and higher qualifications.
