I know what it feels like.

Before Goldman Sachs, UBS, and EY, I worked as a Carpenter. Nobody handed me a path into finance and compliance. I built it, module by module, the same way you're considering doing now.

That's why this training isn't written from inside an ivory tower. It's built by someone who's actually made the jump — from a trade, into rooms most people assumed I didn't belong in, based on firsthand experience of what Swiss financial institutions actually expect from someone in compliance.

If you're new to this field, relocating, or making a career change: I've been exactly where you are.

For whom was it build?

Built for exactly your situation

New to compliance, from abroad

You know AML in principle — but Swiss GwG, VSB 20, and MROS reporting have their own logic. Learn the Swiss framework before your first interview, not during your probation period.

New to compliance, from within Switzerland

Coming from law, banking operations, or another department? Get the specific vocabulary and frameworks compliance hiring managers expect on day one.

Between mandates

A CV gap doesn't have to be empty. Turn the time into a dated, verifiable certificate that shows you kept building — not just kept waiting.

Relocating to Switzerland

Swiss AML rules differ from most jurisdictions you've worked in. Arrive already speaking VSB 20 fluently, instead of learning it under pressure on the job.

Staying sharp

Regulation moves. Digital assets, TJPG, evolving MROS expectations — refresh what you know with content built to actually stick, not a slide deck you forget by Friday.

Making the internal case

Want to move into compliance from another role at your current employer? A recognized certificate is often the concrete step that turns "interested" into "considered."

FAQ

Questions

I already have AML experience — is this still worth it?

If your experience is from outside Switzerland, VSB 20 and Swiss GwG specifics likely differ from what you know. The certificate itself is also a fast, verifiable signal for Swiss employers who don't know your prior background.

Is this certificate recognized by Swiss employers?

It's a FinReg Swiss training certificate, not a government license — it demonstrates verified, current knowledge of GwG/AML/VSB 20, which is exactly what hiring managers and compliance teams screen for.

I have zero compliance background — can I still follow this?

Yes. Module 1 starts from the fundamentals of money laundering before building up to Swiss-specific due diligence rules. No prior compliance experience required.

How long does it take?

Most people complete all six modules within 4 hours, at their own pace. Access doesn't expire for this cohort.
