"I was searching for new qualifications and due to high demand for AML specialists my choice fell on this line of work. As a newcomer I took the foundations course. The materials presented to me further ignited my interest, the lessons were well structured, video materials combined with text were especially useful for digesting information. I felt like a few mid-course tests were a bit hard, but upon completion I revised my notes and it all made sense. Overall, I am satisfied with this course and its length, it fit perfectly into my schedule and I want to continue my education with this provider."
