Financial crime prevention isn't just a job for the compliance team. Designed for new entrants and non-compliance staff across Gibraltar's regulated sector, this course introduces the fundamentals of AML, CFT and CPF in a practical, accessible way.

It is ideal for front and back-office teams, including customer service, operations, finance, HR and administration. It gives everyone the essential knowledge to recognise red flags and help build a strong compliance culture across the organisation. Firms are encouraged to send several team members, as it's a cost-effective way to support annual training obligations.
