This programme gives you a choice of two different delivery modes:

Virtual classroom

This is the best of both worlds – the flexibility of online learning combined with peer group interaction and an expert facilitator!

You will be provided with online resources, including a course manual via Strategi Institute’s online learning platform, Radar. In addition, the virtual classroom delivery includes seven one-hour sessions presented by a skilled AML/CFT practitioner via Zoom. Participants will also have the opportunity to ask any assignment-related queries.

This delivery method is ideal for new or aspiring compliance officers and businesses needing improvement for clean audits.

Please note, the first intake (enrolment start) date for the virtual classroom delivery mode is 21 August 2024.

Online

The online delivery involves working through the course material provided via Radar and the completion of seven assignments. This delivery mode is self-directed and completed at your own pace within the course duration.

Online is ideal if you are an experienced AML/CFT compliance officer seeking a refresher on regulatory changes and supervisor guidelines.

Please note, the first intake (enrolment start) date for online delivery is 3 July 2024.

This programme is suitable if you are:

  • A current AML/CFT compliance officer looking to showcase their expertise and ensure effective AML/CFT compliance within their reporting entity.
  • A senior manager or director of small reporting entities who may need to step in as a backup for the AML/CFT compliance officer.
  • Aspiring to become an AML/CFT compliance officer.
