Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

The practicals provide hands-on experience in applying AML procedures, including customer due diligence, suspicious transaction identification, and compliance program development. Learners will engage in realistic scenarios and case studies to reinforce theoretical knowledge.

Practical Activities

• Customer Due Diligence Simulation — Learners will simulate the CDD process using fictional customer profiles, including identification, verification, and risk assessment. (4h)
• Suspicious Transaction Reporting Exercise — Learners will analyze transaction data and case scenarios to identify suspicious activity and draft a suspicious transaction report (STR). (4h)
• AML Risk Assessment Workshop — In groups, learners will conduct a risk assessment for a fictional company, identifying inherent risks, controls, and residual risk. (4h)
• Compliance Program Development and Audit Simulation — Learners will design a basic AML compliance program and then simulate a regulatory inspection to test its effectiveness. (4h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.
