Corporate AML/CTF Training for Crypto and Digital Asset Teams
Your AML Compliance Must Keep Up.
The MiCA transitional period closed on 1 July 2026 under Article 143(3), so a firm serving EU clients now runs on full CASP authorisation rather than a legacy registration. And that changes what a supervisor asks about your people. Alongside MiCA sit the Transfer of Funds Regulation (EU) 2023/1113, FATF Recommendation 16, and the EU AML Regulation applying from 10 July 2027. We train crypto teams to work all four as one job: which transfers carry originator and beneficiary data, when a self-hosted wallet triggers an ownership check, why a wallet-address sanctions hit isn't a name hit.
Crypto Platforms Are Growing Fast.
AML Compliance Must Scale With Them.
Since 1 July 2026 an authorised CASP is supervised on how its controls work, not on whether a policy exists. The EU AML Regulation (EU) 2024/1624 names crypto-asset service providers as obliged entities in Article 3, and from 10 July 2027 its Article 15 requires ongoing training matched to each role and to the firm's own risk assessment — documented, not assumed. ESMA coordinates the MiCA regime; BaFin, the Bank of Lithuania, the Estonian FIU, KNF, ČNB and the MFSA run the inspections. And each opens on one question: who was trained, and can they apply it?
Know Exactly Where Your Team Is Strong
and Where They Are Not
The Corporate Training Portal doesn't just track completion. It maps applied competence across the disciplines a crypto supervisor probes: on-chain tracing, Travel Rule data, wallet-address screening, CDD on digital asset customers, escalation to the MLRO. Article 15(2) of the AMLR says training must suit the function and be duly documented. So this is the documentation half — by discipline, by person, by team.

Progress tracking for managers and audit-ready records
Most providers deliver a spreadsheet of completion dates. The Corporate Training Portal shows what the team knows, what they don't, and where the operational risk sits — in real time, with data you can present to the board or a regulator without reformatting anything.
Global certification with CPD hours included
Everyone who completes and passes receives a CPD-accredited certificate with CPD hours recorded, issued under Estonian continuing-education licence 261779 and registered with the CPD Standards Office as supplier 50475. And the assessment tests judgement rather than recall: whether an analyst can defend a decision on a mixer-exposed deposit, not whether they can restate a definition.
Lifetime access to course materials, LMS and the corporate portal
Training logs, certification logs and management summaries export as timestamped, branded PDFs formatted for a supervisory inspection. Records stay retrievable for the life of the account. AML retention runs in years, after all: Article 77 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1624 sets a five-year floor for due diligence records, and most firms keep training evidence on the same schedule.
Book a 30-Minute
AML Team Assessment Call
Thirty minutes with the AML Certification Centre team. We ask what you run — exchange, custody, token issuance, wallet or transfer services, OTC — which authorisation you hold, and where your last risk assessment flagged a staffing weakness. Then we map options to headcount, jurisdiction and timeline. And if your analysts hold vendor certifications already, we scope around those.

Why AML Training Is Essential
for
Crypto Companies
Four instruments land on a crypto compliance desk at once, and staff competence sits inside all four. MiCA, Regulation (EU) 2023/1114, sets the CASP service categories — custody and administration of crypto-assets on behalf of clients under Article 3(1)(16)(a), operating a trading platform, exchange, transfer services, advice — and its transitional period closed on 1 July 2026 under Article 143(3). The Transfer of Funds Regulation (EU) 2023/1113 carries the EU crypto Travel Rule and the ownership check on self-hosted addresses above EUR 1,000. Behind it sits FATF Recommendation 16, restated in the FATF targeted update of June 2024. And the AMLR package, applying from 10 July 2027 alongside AMLD6, puts training and record keeping on a statutory footing.
Effective AML/CTF training helps crypto companies:
- map each service they run to a MiCA crypto-asset service category, and see which obligations follow;
- trace a suspicious flow on-chain across mixers, bridges and chain-hopping, and write the rationale down;
- run the Travel Rule end to end: originator and beneficiary fields, IVMS 101 payloads, counterparty checks before transmission;
- screen wallet addresses against sanctions lists, and handle an address hit differently from a name hit;
- evidence the training obligation to a supervisor, with dated records an inspection file can absorb.
One caveat, stated plainly. No training provider can authorise your firm, and no certificate your staff holds satisfies an authorisation condition on its own. What training evidences is staff competence, which is what a supervisor asks about people, separately from what it asks about systems. We say the same on the call.
AML Certification Centre's expertise in digital assets
Programmes cover the risks a crypto business actually carries: exchange order and withdrawal flow, custody and administration under MiCA Article 75, wallet and transfer services, OTC settlement, and stablecoins — e-money tokens and asset-referenced tokens, in MiCA's own vocabulary. Typologies come from the EBA's December 2024 report on preventing money laundering in the EU crypto-assets sector, and from published FATF material.
Compliance with International Standards
Content is built against named instruments, not a general standards claim: FATF Recommendation 16 and the June 2024 targeted update, MiCA and the Article 143(3) date, the Transfer of Funds Regulation (EU) 2023/1113, the EBA Travel Rule Guidelines of July 2024, and the AMLR timetable to 10 July 2027. So the instrument is named on the slide, and your team can find it again.
Audit-ready documentation
Organisations receive an evidence pack shaped for a supervisory file: attendance records, the syllabus version delivered, per-participant assessment scores, and QR-verifiable certificates a supervisor checks without contacting us. But its real job is answering what an inspector opens with. Who was trained, and can they still apply it six months later.
Role-specific training programs for crypto teams
Tracks split by line of defence. The first line — onboarding, deposits and withdrawals, support — practises recognition and escalation. The second line, meaning the MLRO, deputy MLRO, compliance officers and monitoring analysts, works on decisions and the record behind them. Internal audit tests whether the first two hold. And blockchain investigators take the on-chain track: clustering, attribution, bridge and mixer exposure.
Training Formats at
AML Certification Centre
Three formats, and most crypto teams use two. A structured session sets a baseline across a function that grew fast. A workshop puts analysts into fact patterns and marks what they write. A custom programme scopes to your service categories, token coverage and supervisor. Gamified exercises run through all three, because arguing a case out loud sticks.
AML Training Sessions for Crypto Companies
Sessions on AML/CTF requirements as they apply to crypto transactions: MiCA service scope, Travel Rule data, wallet screening, escalation. Best for an annual refresher, a new-hire cohort, or getting a compliance function that grew from three people to twelve onto one standard.
- money laundering risks in cryptocurrency transactions;
- MiCA service categories, CASP authorisation scope, and what changed on 1 July 2026;
- a risk-based approach to AML compliance;
- proper customer due diligence and identity verification;
- blockchain analytics, on-chain tracing, and monitoring of transfers across bridges and chains;
- sanctions screening of wallet addresses, OFAC SDN digital currency identifiers, and PEP handling;
- detection and reporting of suspicious activity;
- internal AML controls and governance.
AML Compliance Workshops for Crypto Companies
Workshops on real fact patterns: a deposit with mixer exposure two hops back, a transfer above EUR 1,000 to a self-hosted address, a mint-and-redeem sequence that doesn't match the stated business, a counterparty VASP that won't return Travel Rule data. Each ends in a written decision an instructor marks.
- analysis of suspicious on-chain flows, including mixers, chain-hopping and bridge exposure;
- identifying anti-money laundering (AML) indicators in cryptocurrency trading;
- case studies on financial crime schemes involving cryptocurrencies;
- exercises in preparing reports on suspicious activity;
- simulation of decision-making in the area of regulatory compliance.
Custom AML Training Programs for Crypto Companies
Risk profiles diverge sharply here. A Lithuanian CASP running spot exchange and custody has a different agenda from an Estonian token issuer, a German platform answering to BaFin, or a Polish firm mid-KNF-authorisation. Custom programmes map modules to your service categories, token coverage, and any open supervisory item.
- AML risks on cryptocurrency exchanges specific to your jurisdiction;
- Travel Rule operations: originator and beneficiary fields, IVMS 101 payloads, counterparty due diligence;
- risks associated with decentralized finance (DeFi);
- sanctions compliance in digital asset transactions;
- integration of internal AML policies and procedures.
Who Is This Training
Intended For?
Programmes are built by line of defence and by role, because what an MLRO needs and what a withdrawal reviewer needs aren't the same thing. A deputy MLRO signing escalations reads MiCA scope and the Article 15 training duty. A first-line reviewer needs to spot a mixer-exposed deposit and know who to tell.
Compliance officers
AML governance for a CASP, the business-wide risk assessment, programme design against MiCA and the AMLR timetable, and examination readiness. Includes the MLRO and deputy MLRO track: sign-off logic, escalation thresholds, and the record a supervisor reads first.
AML analysts
Alert investigation, STR and SAR drafting an FIU analyst can follow, on-chain pattern detection, and case judgement where the trail is a transaction graph, not a bank statement. Analysts leave able to defend a filed report and a closed alert.
Blockchain analyst teams
Address clustering and attribution, tracing across bridges and chains, exposure scoring, and where blockchain analytics stops being evidence and starts being inference. Tool-neutral: what a clustering result means, and which obligation it triggers, whichever platform you bought.
KYC / customer onboarding teams
CDD and EDD on digital asset customers, PEP and adverse-media assessment, beneficial ownership through nominee structures, and Source of Funds documentation where the trail runs on-chain. Plus the self-hosted wallet ownership check above EUR 1,000.
Fraud and risk analysts
Red flags across crypto products: structuring across accounts, rapid deposit-and-withdraw cycles, sanctioned-cluster proximity, stablecoin mint-and-redeem inconsistent with a stated business. Plus decisions at the point where fraud rules and financial-crime rules disagree.
Product managers and executives
How a product decision creates an obligation before a compliance project does: adding a chain, listing an asset-referenced token, opening a custody offering, switching on self-hosted wallet withdrawals. Plus the management information a board should read.
Customer support teams
AML awareness, red flag recognition, and escalation duties for front-line staff handling crypto customer queries.
Management board
Board-level AML accountability and governance duties, what changes as AMLA supervision takes effect under Regulation (EU) 2024/1620, and what the board of an authorised CASP is expected to see, challenge and sign.
Partners (counterparties)
Introducers, agents, white-label partners and counterparty VASPs needing AML awareness for onboarding or due diligence, with a training record you hand to a counterparty running its own review before exchanging Travel Rule data.
Key Topics Covered
in the Training
The topics below are the standing curriculum. Which go deep depends on what you do: a custodian on client-asset controls, an exchange on monitoring and Travel Rule operations, a token issuer on reserve and redemption flows. Topics marked as key are what supervisors open with now.
Relevant for centralised exchanges, custodians, wallet and transfer service providers, OTC desks, token and stablecoin issuers, DeFi front-ends inside the MiCA perimeter, and any firm holding client crypto. Also for CASPs mid-authorisation — staff competence is where an application file shows thin evidence fastest.
Three Tiers for Every
Organisation Size
Individual learners enrol directly: AML Foundations at €399, the VASPs course at €499, CASS at €959, CAPS at €1,695 in six jurisdiction-scoped versions for CASPs in the EU, Germany, Estonia, Lithuania, Poland and Czechia. Institutional buyers use three corporate tiers instead — certification, expert-led application, team stress-testing — quoted on team size and format.
Certification for Teams
Scalable certification for new-hire onboarding, the annual refresher, and getting a fast-grown crypto team onto one baseline, remote staff included. So a Head of Compliance spots the analyst stalled halfway through a module three weeks before the deadline, not after.
- Course access for the full team
- All simulators & worked cases
- CPD-accredited certificates
- Completion tracking dashboard
- Audit-ready training logs
Certification + Expert Training
Everything in Tier 1 plus live sessions adapted to your products, token coverage and jurisdiction. So an Estonian custodian gets client-asset and control-change content, a Lithuanian exchange gets a monitoring and Travel Rule pass, and a German platform under BaFin gets the national layer on MiCA. Sessions are recorded and indexed by topic.
- Everything in Tier 1
- Expert-led live sessions (online or onsite)
- Topics adapted to your crypto products & jurisdiction
- Post-session capability gap report
- Practical tools: templates, checklists
Enterprise Capability Programme
For large exchanges, institutional trading platforms and custodians — or any CASP facing an on-site examination, an open supervisory finding, an authorisation file under review, or a post-merger integration. The mock inspection runs the questions an inspector asks, in the order they ask them.
- Everything in Tiers 1 & 2
- Onsite immersive workshops
- Mock regulatory inspection
- Crisis response simulation
- Led by former regulators & AML heads
Pricing
