A note on AML training requirements. The UK “Regulations” specify the following:
- 9.15. Staff training is necessary when staff join the business, move to a new job or when they change roles. They should also have ongoing training at least every 2 years or when a significant change happens, for example, legislation or the business’s risk assessment changes.
- We recommend our Foundation Level course for those that have not attended one of our AML training courses before and for any new staff joining the company as this is the entry level, legal requirement course. Our top-up/ refresher course is 1 hour (Property Market) or 1.5 hour (Art Market) in duration and should be attended no later than every 2 years. As good practice we would recommend attending a refresher course yearly.
- FCS Compliance frequently runs private training sessions for businesses and runs webinars for its partners to assist their members or clients. If you are interested to learn more about private training sessions or partnering with us, please get in touch by emailing info@fcscompliance.co.uk.

Excellent training. We have had really positive feedback from all our staff, especially the Partners. We all agreed it was far more interesting than we envisaged and that’s probably down to Malcolm, managing to make what is considered a dull subject, into something tangible and real. Everyone is now very aware and rejuvenated in AML processes.
