AML Training & Certification
IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC
Expert AML Training Programs for Businesses Operating in the Czech Republic and Across the EU
AMS develops and delivers AML training programs for compliance officers, MLROs, and staff at businesses operating under Czech and EU anti-money laundering obligations.
We provide practical, sector-specific training tailored to your business model, risk profile, and regulatory requirements. Our programs help your team identify red flags, follow internal procedures, and meet statutory AML obligations.
WHY AML TRAINING IS A REGULATORY REQUIREMENT
Under Czech Act No. 253/2008 Sb. and EU AML directives, obliged entities are required to ensure that their staff receive regular AML training. This is not optional.
Regulators assess training records during inspections, and gaps in staff awareness are among the most common findings in AML audits.
The most common challenges include:
Meeting the Legal Training Obligation
Meeting the Legal Training Obligation
Czech and EU AML law requires documented, regular training for all staff involved in client onboarding, transaction processing and compliance functions. Without records, you cannot demonstrate compliance during an inspection.
Keeping training current
Keeping training current
Fintech and crypto companies are required to conduct AML training at least once a year. Beyond the annual obligation, regulations evolve frequently — and training that no longer reflects current AMLD, MiCA, or FAÚ and ČNB requirements creates compliance gaps that regulators will identify.
Sector-specific relevance
Sector-specific relevance
Generic AML training does not address the specific risks, red flags, and procedures relevant to your business. Staff in crypto, fintech, or payment companies face different scenarios than those in traditional financial institutions.
Building a compliance culture
Building a compliance culture
Effective AML compliance depends on staff who understand why the procedures exist, not just what to do. Training that explains the rationale builds a stronger internal compliance culture and reduces operational risk.
WHY WORK WITH AMS FOR AML TRAINING
Tailored to your sector and risk profile
We design training programs around your specific business model, client base, and the AML risks most relevant to your operations — not generic content that applies to any industry.
Aligned with current Czech and EU requirements
All training content is based on current Czech Act No. 253/2008 Sb., AMLD5/6, MiCA, and FATF guidance — updated to reflect the latest regulatory developments.
Practical and case-based
We use real-world scenarios and case studies relevant to your sector — helping staff recognise red flags and apply procedures in situations they will actually encounter.
Documented for regulatory purposes
We provide training records, attendance logs, and completion certificates — structured for use as evidence of compliance during FAÚ, ČNB, or other EU regulatory inspections.

FAQ
Is AML training legally required in the Czech Republic?
Yes. Czech Act No. 253/2008 Sb. requires obliged entities to ensure their staff receive regular AML training. This includes all employees involved in client onboarding, transaction processing, and compliance functions. Regulators assess training records during inspections — the absence of documented training is one of the most common compliance findings. AMS provides training records and certificates structured for use as evidence of compliance.
How often should AML training be conducted?
Czech and EU AML regulations require training to be conducted regularly — in practice, this means at least annually for most obliged entities, and additionally when there are significant changes to AML legislation, your business model, or internal procedures. New staff should receive AML training as part of their onboarding. AMS can advise on the appropriate training frequency for your specific situation.
Can training be delivered online?
Yes. We deliver all training online via video call — with flexible scheduling suited to remote and international teams. All sessions include post-training assessment and full documentation.
Do you provide role-specific training for AML Officers and MLROs?
Yes. We design separate training modules for different roles — AML Officers and MLROs receive more advanced content covering regulatory obligations, SAR filing procedures, and regulator communication, while general staff training focuses on red flag identification, client onboarding procedures, and escalation workflows.
What documentation do we receive after the training?
You receive full training documentation — individual attendance records, a summary of topics covered, post-training assessment results, and completion certificates for each participant. All documentation is structured for use as evidence of compliance during FAÚ, ČNB, or other EU regulatory inspections.
