E-learning
Our Anti-Money Laundering training for law firms comprises of an introductory e-learning course and short case-study based scenarios which are released quarterly. Refreshing knowledge and checking how well your staff can apply their training.
This course is an introduction to Anti-Money Laundering (AML) with three modules:
- Anti-Money Laundering – The Basics
- Customer Due Diligence
- Reporting
Staff who are already familiar with their anti-money laundering obligations can take the quiz at the start of the course. If they pass, they can move on to the scenarios without completing this course. All other staff must complete the course and pass the quiz. The pass mark is 80%.
Course results can be tracked and monitored on our Learning Management System (LMS) or you can host the course on your own LMS.

"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."
