Why the Advanced Specialization is different
The Comprehensive AML Specialization is a 12-module advanced track that covers the full AML / CFT / sanctions lifecycle, from risk assessment and CDD to monitoring, investigations, reporting and international standards. It is designed for professionals who want deep, practical competence that stands up to regulatory scrutiny.
- Full AML / CFT / sanctions lifecycle coverage
The 12 modules cover the entire chain: risk assessment, CDD/EDD, transaction monitoring, investigations, reporting, sanctions, international standards and cross-border cooperation. - Lesson design optimised for working professionals
Each lesson follows a fixed flow: why it matters, key definitions, mechanics of the process, usual weaknesses, better controls, and what “good” looks like when reviewed by a supervisor. - Essentials + quiz + operational tools / toolkits for every lesson
Every lesson combines a focused Essentials section, a short quiz to lock in understanding, and an outline for a “Specialist Tools – operational support pack” with checklists, examples and references. - Inspection and review readiness built in
Content is written with FATF methodology and supervisory expectations in mind, helping learners prepare for on-site exams, thematic reviews and internal audit work. - Advanced topics made usable, not abstract
Complex areas such as sanctions evasion techniques, TBML, beneficial ownership, correspondent banking and international cooperation are broken down into concrete steps, red flags and control responses. - Consistent terminology across all modules
The same concepts and language are used across modules, so learners can connect topics easily (for example, from enterprise risk assessment to CDD, monitoring and STR/SAR reporting). - Supports long-term career progression
The track is designed to support progression into roles such as MLRO, Head of Financial Crime, sanctions lead or senior compliance analyst by deepening both technical and practical capability.
