How you will learn

Apply the concepts from AML Foundations & Core Concepts to cryptoasset decisions: risk-based approach, CDD/KYC, beneficial ownership, ongoing monitoring, evidence, suspicion, authorised escalation and governance.

Each of the eight lessons follows the same rhythm: objectives, four teaching topics, an application recap and a lesson quiz. A final applied assessment brings the course together.

Continuing case: Review Meridian Trading’s proposed payment through all eight lessons. Keep your risk assessment, CDD decision, transfer-information review, alert analysis and confidential referral as practice notes, then assemble and self-review the decision file in Lesson 8. All case details are fictional.

Attempt each case task before opening its worked feedback. Other examples and the existing PDF workbook provide additional practice; workbook entries do not submit quiz answers or update course progress.
