Seneca College Certificate in Financial Crimes Prevention and Mitigation

I currently teach the Financial Crimes Prevention and Mitigation program at Seneca College.  Offered through the Canadian Institute for Financial Crime Analysis (CIFCA), this is a unique, online (hybrid), 16-week professional development program that provides you with specialized training needed for the rapidly growing compliance and financial crimes prevention profession. This program is suitable for those who already have a compliance or AML background and also those considering starting a career in the field.

All 16 classes are accessible via a live online platform.

**Due to COVID-19, the September 2020 cohort will be fully online**



As a registrant of this program, you can register for the Certified Financial Crime Specialist (CFCS) Certification Course offered by the Association of Certified Financial Crime Specialists (ACFCS) for $500 (USD). 

This includes registration for the certification exam, access to the online exam prep course and one additional year of ACFCS membership. Passing of the certification exam enables the student to be recognized as an ACFCS Fellow; the certification mandates the need to have experience in the field in order to be deemed fully certified.  For further information about the ACFCS membership click HERE.

As I have mentioned in previous posts, the Financial Crimes Prevention and Mitigation program at Seneca College is a 16 week hybrid in-class and online course. However it is possible to take the entire course online from anywhere you have an internet connection!

Of the 16 scheduled sessions, 12 are exclusively held by video conference through the Blackboard learning platform.

4 sessions are held at Seneca Colleges’ downtown campus in the Toronto Financial District.

The in-class sessions are also available via video conference - this means that you don’t have to be a compliance professional physically located in Toronto to take the program!

All 16 sessions - and any guest speaker sessions - will be available to access and participate online through the Blackboard learning platform.

Who

The Financial Crimes Prevention and Mitigation program is aimed at, and is suitable for, a wide range of students:

- those currently working in AML / Financial Crime who want to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying criminality and predicate offences taking place,

- those working in the Financial sector more generally looking to either make a transition to AML / Financial Crime roles, or to gain a greater understanding of the threat of Financial Crime,

- those in related sectors looking to transition to AML / Financial Crime roles.

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.

The motivation behind developing the Financial Crimes Prevention & Mitigation Program originated from my own personal experiences and understanding of the Compliance profession in Canada, specifically Toronto.
