Clear and consise
A difficult subject to understand but broken down into easy sections.
Clear and easy to understand.
No waffling, just the facts. Easy to watch and I liked the graphics too!
Simple and informative.
This user gave this course a rating of 5/5 stars
Content good
Found the content interesting and detailed. Struggled with the questions, found them obscure and in some instances very difficult to relate back to the slides.
Too long
Working in the Supply chain area with the constant interruptions makes it difficult concentrate. For me would have been better to break it down into two sessions.
Not as good as some of the other courses
Firstly, the course took longer than the indicated timings Secondly, whilst no doubt a company/legal requirement, i never have any financial dealings with customers, so it seeme inappropriately long, and a simplified course would have been more relevantto me.
Really useful update

Simple to understand
Much less dry than previous courses. The commentator made it simple to understand, graphics broke it up and made it more interesting and questions part way through also helped.

Business benefits
Over £40 billion are illegally laundered in the UK every year.
The financial services sector and anywhere which handles large amounts of money, property, or goods are all high-risk areas for money laundering and a number of very strict laws exist to help combat it. It’s a crime to have, move, or hide assets which result from criminal activity; to help somebody else who has assets resulting from criminal activities; and, most importantly, to fail to do anything at all – whether knowingly or unknowingly. Using our Anti-Money Laundering course to train yourself and your staff in how to spot, avoid, properly report, and safely guard against money-laundering is an essential step in doing something to comply with your legal obligations, avoid being an unwitting accomplice, and to make it harder for criminals to profit from their activities.
