The practical challenge

Training only has value if it changes a practice. Our programmes start with concrete professional tasks: investigating a screening alert, documenting a second-line control, substantiating a risk rating before a committee, or examining documents under a documentary credit. Content is tailored to participants’ roles, their starting level and the institution’s existing arrangements.

01 / Approach

Our learning approach

  1. Scoping

    An initial discussion with the sponsor, review of available internal documentation (procedures, risk maps, review reports), and identification of the situations to address.

  2. Design

    A tailored programme, practical cases based on industry situations close to your business, and explicit links to the applicable frameworks.

  3. Delivery

    An interactive format, with 60% of the time devoted to practical work and simulations.

  4. Assessment

    An initial assessment, a post-training assessment of learning, and feedback to the sponsor with suggestions for practical application.

Frequently asked questions

How should a risk or compliance training course be scoped?

Define the audience, the situations to be handled more effectively and the expected outcome. These three elements determine the level, practical cases and format. Content, duration and arrangements are then agreed before delivery.

Do you offer tailored programmes?

Yes. Most of our assignments are designed using the client’s internal documentation — procedures, risk maps and review reports — so that practical cases reflect participants’ actual working environment.

Do the training courses award professional certifications?

Our programmes provide a certificate of attendance and an assessment of learning. They do not award professional certifications: these are the sole responsibility of the issuing organisations.

How soon can a training session be organised?

Generally allow two to four weeks between scoping and delivery, depending on the level of customisation.
