Courses must fall into one of the following Course Access Categories:

A - be open to the general public but of relevance to counter-money laundering professionals

B - be open to the general public but especially designed for compliance officers, money laundering risk officers and those in similar professional roles

C - be especially designed for and restricted to compliance officers, money laundering risk officers and those in similar professional roles

D - be designed for and presented to the staff of a single business entity or group.

Courses will be classified as to level as follows:

I - Foundation (for those with no or little previous knowledge)

II - Intermediate (for those who have previously attended a Foundation level course)

II - Advanced (for those with substantial previous knowledge)

IV - Update (short courses for intermediate or advanced level as a refresher or covering updated material)

CPE hours will be assessed according to the level of the course: for example, an foundation course will not attract CPE hours for progression from Member to Fellow, except where a Member is the presenter and claiming CPE hours under that head.
