A last word from GCAL…

We have been employed by the two biggest financial crime compliance learning providers in the world, and this course represents the realization of our commitment to provide risk and compliance professionals with an alternative proposition.

The course provides us with the opportunity to offer help, information and personal mentoring support that can support delegates to become even more confident and effective senior financial crime compliance professionals.

Over nine months we get huge satisfaction from being able to guide and support a group of international ‘strangers’ who with the passing of each workshop, become bonded by a shared commitment and passion to be the very best financial crime professionals and to make a difference.

Each workshop is different, but they are always fun, meaningful and we learn something new from every workshop that we have delivered. This means that we can stay ahead.

From all the work that we are engaged to design and deliver, this course is one of our favourites because it is dynamic and because the delegates are committed to their personal development and becoming an elite financial crime risk professional. It is a great combination!
