Welcome to International Compliance Training

At ICT we have developed the integrated learning experience. This is a unique combination of first class course manuals, materials, up-to-the-minute website information, online seminars (live and pre-recorded), expert face-to-face tuition and ongoing tutor support. We aim to optimise the learning experience for you whether you are studying for a professional qualification or taking part in a one-day training exercise.

The integrated approach comprises a number of learning methods, each designed to support the other. Each of the methods should be viewed as part of the whole. They are mutually supportive, equally relevant and beneficial to the learning experience. We have found by adopting this approach, we have achieved some great results for our students, and it is one that all our partners use.

Financial services professionals today face an increasingly challenging working environment. The changes in regulations alongside the ever-higher standards demanded from government and customers alike, means that undertaking training is essential. Training has to be effective in transferring knowledge and skills and ICT has a proven track record in this area.

We encourage you to put your learning into practice immediately. The training materials we produce are full of useful case studies, examples and exercises. You will be able to apply your learning to your own firm right from the start. The training you undertake not only enhances your understanding of the theory but encourages practical application, so you and your firm benefit.

We give you the knowledge and skills that enable you to fulfil your role efficiently and effectively. We understand that things change and that you need to adapt. So as part of the learning process we give you scenarios to work through that test your decision making ability. It’s consequence free and because you are learning in a supportive environment you will gain confidence to grow and develop in the real world.

Relevant Practical Personal

Integrated Interactive Intense

We always try to enliven the learning experience, making it enjoyable for all. Our workshops are engaging and interactive with lots of group exercises to stimulate debate. This enhances the learning process and encourages knowledge retention.

All ICT trainers have extensive experience. They come from a variety of backgrounds and most are still practising in their profession. This is great for you as you can

be confident that the learning you receive will be up-to-date and highly relevant.

ICT trainers travel the world teaching at our global centres so you get the same consistently high standards of teaching no matter where you are based. Through our partners we also use local tutors from the jurisdictions in which we offer our training. These too are experienced practitioners and they help with the delivery of the local content.

Behind the trainers, we have a team of individuals who are constantly researching news and developments affecting the industries in which we teach. Relevant information is then uploaded to our online resource centre which you can access as you progress through your training.

ICT and its partners only use experienced practitioners to write and deliver our training content. Rules, regulations, processes and procedures can be complex. So we try to produce materials that are accessible and that can form a useful source of reference for the future. We are often told by our students that they keep our manuals on their desks and that they are well thumbed through!

Experience counts

Global thinking, local application

We take a global perspective to the learning we deliver. International best practice is vital to the knowledge and skills we teach. But we also understand the importance and value of local, jurisdiction specific information. We make sure that all the tuition you receive wherever you are is relevant to you and your country of operation. We provide you with local case studies and examples, access to domestic rules and regulations and, in certain jurisdictions, we provide the materials in the local language.

ICT is a global organisation with offices in the UK, Dubai and Singapore. We have developed partnerships with institutions and firms in over 30 countries so that the training is local to you.

Public programmesPublic workshop-based programmes are available in many jurisdictions. Each of the public programmes has a limited number of places at any one time in order to maximise the learning experience.

Distance learningIf you can’t make the public programme then you can study by distance learning. Studying by distance learning gives you flexibility. There are no classroom sessions to attend so you can study at times convenient to you. The training manuals and materials are supplemented by comprehensive workbooks and a library of pre-recorded webinars. You will also receive dedicated tutor support throughout your studies. You can join a community of fellow students via our on-line forums so you can stay connected. This can add real value to the learning as it gives you a chance to share and discuss your experience of the programme and any questions you may have.

ICT supports hundreds of students studying by distance learning every year so we are very experienced in this kind of learning.

Exam onlyIf you are an experienced practitioner who holds appropriate qualifications, you can apply for the 'exam only' route to an ICA qualification. If you take this option, you will be exempt from attending the workshops that accompany the programme and from submitting assignments. You are provided with manuals, support readings and texts and your achievement is measured on the basis of your performance in the examination only.

We understand you are busy. You have a demanding job and a full life yet you wish to develop yourself still further. So ICT have developed a range of ways in which you can study.

Your study, your way
