Course contents
This training course is broken down into 3 sections
- 1 The Types of Bribery
- 2 Failing to Prevent Bribery
- 3 Bribes, Gifts and Hospitality
SECTION 1
In this section of the anti-bribery online training course we look at the first three types of bribery covered by The Bribery Act 2010 - Bribing another person, Being bribed and Bribery of foreign public officials.
SECTION 2
This section looks at the fourth offence from The Bribery Act - Failure to prevent bribery. It also looks at the six principles, or guidelines, which organisations must follow to help prevent them from committing this offence.
SECTION 3
In this final section, we're looking at the fine line between what might be considered to be a gift and what might be considered to be bribe. What can you offer, or be offered, without it being considered a bribe? We also look at common indicators that bribery may be taking place; suggesting why people might be involved in bribery, and explaining what should be done if bribery is suspected.
About this course
Bribery is something that happens more often than you may think! In the UK, up to 1 in 4 organisations come under pressure to accept bribes or make illegal payments every year; or lose business to competitors as a result of bribes.
This Anti-Bribery Course aims to raise awareness. It explains the four offences that can be committed under The Bribery Act. And it looks at the fine line between gifts and bribes – when is it acceptable to give a gift or hospitality? And when might they be seen as a bribe? And what to consider for an anti-bribery policy.
It also explains what you should look out for - the signs that suggest that bribery might be taking place. It looks at what you should do if you’ve been given, offered or promised a gift or hospitality and think it might be a bribe, or if you suspect someone else is involved in bribery.
The anti-corruption training course uses a clear, easy-to-understand style, supported by excellent graphics and animation. Scenario-style questions are used throughout the programme as examples to test understanding.
This online Anti-Bribery Training also works well alongside our Anti-Money Laundering and Data Protection Training titles.

Why is this training important?
Compliance
It's important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.
The Bribery Act 2010 is a very powerful legislation that applies to England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The law under this legislation states that there are 4 main offences relating to bribery and if you are found guilty of committing any of these offences, you could risk imprisonment, unlimited fines and blacklisting.
The four offences that can be committed under The Bribery Act are:
Under Section 1 - Bribing another person
Under Section 2 - Being bribed
Under Section 6 - Bribery of foreign public officials
And under Section 7 - Failure to prevent bribery.
