Anti-Money Laundering (AML) & Financial Crime Prevention

The Certificate in Anti-Money Laundering (AML) & Financial Crime Prevention is a professionally structured online course designed to equip learners with practical, regulatory, and ethical expertise in combating money laundering and financial crime across global markets.

Financial crime continues to evolve in complexity, scale, and sophistication, posing serious threats to economic stability, organisational integrity, and public trust. This course provides a clear, structured, and real-world understanding of how money laundering works, why it persists, and how financial institutions and professionals are expected to prevent it.

Learners begin with a strong foundation in financial crime and AML principles, including money laundering typologies, counter-terrorist financing (CFT), and the ethical responsibilities of compliance professionals. The programme then progresses into global AML regulatory frameworks, examining how AML laws and supervisory bodies operate across the UK, United States, Europe, and GCC regions.
