Nexus Academy delivers mandatory AML/CFT training programmes for all UAE regulated entities. UAE law requires annual AML training for all employees — not optional, not once. Our training goes beyond checkbox compliance: your team leaves understanding real red flags, their personal obligations under UAE law, and the consequences of non-compliance. All programmes are delivered in English and Russian by trainers with direct FATF and UAE regulatory authority experience. Certificates of completion are issued to satisfy the mandatory annual training requirement for every participant.

Why choose Nexus Academy
Our trainers bring direct FATF and UAE regulatory authority experience — your team learns from practitioners who shaped the frameworks they are being trained on.
Sector-specific content for every DNFBP category, financial institution type, and VASP — not generic compliance theory.
Training delivered in English and Russian — the only UAE compliance training provider serving the Russian/CCA business community in their native language.
Certificates of completion issued for each participant — satisfying the mandatory annual training documentation requirement for MoE, MoF, DFSA, FSRA, and VARA inspections.
Interactive, case-based learning using real UAE use cases and red-flag scenarios — employees leave knowing how to apply the knowledge, not just recall it.
Why you must act now
Federal Decree-Laws mandate annual AML training for all employees — failure to document training is a standalone violation cited in MoE inspections.
AED 42 million in fines across 1,063 violations in 1H/2025 — inadequate staff training was among the most commonly cited deficiencies.
Federal Decree-Law 10/2025 expanded training obligations — all regulated entities must ensure staff are trained on the new law's requirements before regulators inspect.
MENAFATF evaluation of UAE is scheduled for June 2026 — UAE regulators are specifically reviewing training documentation quality and frequency.
Employee knowledge is your first line of defence — one uninformed transaction can trigger an STR, a regulatory inquiry, or a bank account freeze.
