"An engaging and enjoyable course covering everything a lawyer needs to know about the current regulations and their obligations.
I found Kinch Robinson's Anti-Money Laundering training detailed and comprehensive, compared to courses I have attended previously which have been brief.
It was also useful that I could pause the course part way through and resume later, meaning I completed it over a couple of days."
