Course Structure:

The course is addressed to individuals who are interested in preparing for the CySEC AML Certification Examination. Our courses are tailored to meet the need of each individual as follows:
Introductory is made by a two-day course and needs to be followed by individuals who have basic or intermediate knowledge of the AML legislation.
Boot-camp is made by a two-day course and the focus will be on the more tricky areas of the legislation, exam techniques and questions practice.
For ensuring all syllabus and material is covered/refreshed, we advise participants to attend the whole 4 days (15 hours/15 CPD units) preparation course. However, for experienced AML officers, only the boot-camp course can be followed.
