AML training – Anti-money laundering course

As financial crimes grow more sophisticated, proactive AML training is essential to protect your organization. Money laundering can lead to severe legal, financial, and reputational consequences, undermining trust and operational stability. LRN’s anti-money-laundering certification courses empower employees to identify suspicious activity, mitigate risk, and uphold your organization’s ethical standards.

“Money laundering is a very sophisticated crime, and we must be equally sophisticated.”
 — Janet Reno, U.S. Attorney General (1993–2001)

Anti-money laundering training by LRN

Train your employees to identify red flags, understand criminal tactics, and help prevent money laundering. Criminals often attempt to deceive staff, spread illicit funds across small transactions, or move money into countries with weaker AML controls to avoid detection. LRN’s foundational AML course helps employees understand these real-world methods and their own critical role in maintaining ethical and responsible business practices.


This course uses engaging videos, interactive screens, realistic scenarios, reflection points, and quick assessments to teach employees across all departments how to:

Anti-money laundering training for compliance

Money laundering is one of the biggest challenges for modern organizations. To evade detection, criminals use layering, structuring, and jurisdictional transfers that exploit weaknesses in oversight. Through AML compliance training, employees gain the insight needed to detect these patterns and prevent illicit activity before it escalates.

LRN’s AML training programs emphasize:

Understanding how criminal networks deceive staff and financial institutions

Recognizing transaction manipulation tactics

Strengthening reporting and record-keeping procedures

Building awareness of related financial crimes, such as terrorist financing, securities fraud, and tax evasion
