How will I study Financial Crimes Prevention and Mitigation?

Having introduced the Financial Crimes Prevention and Mitigation program in a previous post, and the motivation behind its design, I would like to outline how and where the course is delivered.

How

The program is delivered over 16 weeks in a hybrid online and in-class format. All 16 weeks are livestreamed via the interactive Blackboard learning platform where students can ask live-time questions, participate in polls and knowledge checks, and share their own insights and experiences with the case. Recordings will be made available after class in case you are unable to attend a session.

Of the 16 weeks, 4 sessions will be held at Seneca College’s Downtown Campus at 30 Wellington St. West, in the heart of Toronto’s Financial district. Spaced throughout the program, the in-class sessions will provide an opportunity for the class to take advantage of face-to-face networking with their colleagues and peers, as well as invited industry-leading guest speakers.

I anticipate there will be additional “bonus” in-class sessions with guest speakers subject to their availability; these will complement the knowledge gained throughout the course.

Where

Seneca College’s Downtown Campus is located at 30 Wellington St. West, within easy reach of the majority of the financial institutions and accessible via the path or street access. The in-class sessions are scheduled for Tuesdays between 6:30pm and 9:30pm. The campus has excellent tea and coffee facilities as well as break out areas.

 

Seneca’s downtown campus is new for Winter 2020 and the Financial Crimes Prevention and Mitigation course has been selected as one of the courses to be delivered in this high demand location.

The online sessions will be livestreamed via the Blackboard learning platform which allows students to fully participate in the class; the technology used on this course allows for a fully immersive learning experience.

The blackboard learning platform will also host additional course resources for access at the student’s own pace including course readings and curated video content.

The Financial Crimes Prevention and Mitigation course costs CAD $2500 + HST from Seneca College. Registered students can apply for CFCS membership and certification program from ACFCS for a heavily discounted rate of USD $500 (normally USD $1245)
