Why We Built This Course

We built this AML course because most training gives you a list of regulations without showing you how to apply them when real situations do not fit neatly into the textbook.

From 2006 to 2024, we ran our own screening businesses and worked directly with employers, compliance teams, and regulated organisations. We saw first hand how money laundering risk intersects with hiring, identity verification, and ongoing employee monitoring. We dealt with cases where clients needed to understand their reporting obligations, where due diligence had been skipped or poorly documented, and where the consequences of getting it wrong were severe.

What Makes This Different

Every lesson is built from compliance work we have personally conducted, not theory from a regulations summary. You will learn how to recognise money laundering indicators, apply due diligence proportionately, and report suspicious activity correctly. In 1 to 2 hours, you walk away CPD certified and confident you understand your obligations. Built by practitioners, not trainers.
