KYC360 Academy

CPD accredited training courses

CPD Accredited AML Training

At the KYC360 Academy, our mission is to revolutionise the way businesses train their employees in Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Financial Crime Prevention. Despite the severe reputational damage that money laundering allegations can cause, many businesses meet their training obligations by requiring staff to complete the same theory-heavy e-learning or face-to-face courses year after year. This repetitive approach often leads to disengagement and a lack of awareness about the critical role every employee plays in safeguarding their organisation from criminal exploitation.

Our approach at KYC360 Academy is different. We believe the key to engaging staff in financial crime prevention is providing them with the flexibility to explore topics that interest them most, whilst also offering certifications that support their career growth. That’s why we have developed the world’s most comprehensive catalogue of financial crime-related e-learning courses and certifications.

 

Our commitment includes:

  • Delivering up-to-date, practical, and relevant AML and financial crime prevention courses and certifications.
  • Equipping learners with essential skills, tools, and strategies to detect, investigate, report, and prevent financial crime.
  • Fostering a culture of ethical responsibility and compliance within financial institutions, law enforcement, and the corporate sector.
  • Providing expert guidance, thought leadership, and best practices to help organizations stay ahead of emerging financial crime threats.

At KYC360 Academy, we are dedicated to shaping a safer and more transparent financial world.
