Compliance and Risk Training Pathway

The Australian Compliance Institute can help you find the right compliance risk training course to assist you with the skills and knowledge to execute your compliance responsibilities. So, no matter where you are in your journey, we can start you onto the right path and help plan your future in compliance risk.

New to compliance

First day in your role in compliance or line one compliance responsibilities.

This is where to start if you are in a line two compliance role but have no background knowledge.

OR

If you are in a line one role with compliance accountabilities or activities at the level where you need to understand how what you are doing is fitting into the compliance framework in the organisation and need to be able to confidently engage with risk management terminology and theory.

Your suggested pathways:

Compliance and Risk 101

This is an introduction to the fundamentals of compliance and risk and what the profession is about. This is the place to start if you are brand new to compliance.

+

Ongoing membership

Participate in relevant discussion groups to listen to the conversations and build networks, especially if you are in a small to medium sized organisation and don’t have a large compliance team internally where you can get active guidance. Our newsletters and emails will start to familiarise you with regulatory updates and emerging compliance issues.

Some experience in compliance

A desire to formalise training and develop core knowledge.

You may have a strong business background, interest or experience in risk but are specialising in a line two compliance risk role. You will have had a year’s experience across compliance risk, even if in a line one role, with responsibilities that are more advanced in your understanding than on your first day in your role.

Your suggested pathways:

The 10964NAT Certificate IV in Compliance and Risk Management

This is the foundation learning for anyone in line two compliance and will cover the core skills and knowledge you need in your role. It is principles based, so it does not matter what sector you are, or are planning to work in, the knowledge is adaptable to your industry.

+

Ongoing membership

Participate actively in our topic specific discussion groups and webinars to add sector and issue specific knowledge to your suite of learnings. Plus, benefit from the regular correspondence about emerging compliance practice and regulatory change.

Experienced in compliance

You are ready to make the jump in your knowledge and work responsibilities and either need to know more, or have the knowledge and experience acquired through your hard work formally recognised, so you can apply and be trusted with more senior roles in compliance risk.

You have five or more years’ experience in compliance, with at least two at a senior management level and are looking to lead the compliance risk management framework. You want to learn about leading, conducting investigations and influencing the culture of the organisation to embed the compliance risk framework.

You might be a senior business executive who has previously had compliance risk responsibilities, with a desire to have more influence or move into line two. Or you might be a legal professional who wants to transition to making your legal work a real part of the business strategy execution in a compliance role.

Your suggested pathways:
