How it works

Three steps from theory to the interview room.

Most courses stop at theory. Employers test whether you can work a case. This is built around that gap.

01

Learn the foundations

The essential AML theory, in plain language: typologies, red flags, KYC, and how a suspicious activity report is built.

02

Work real cases

Six cases from beginner to advanced, fiat and crypto. Customer profiles, transaction data, device and IP logs, on-chain activity.

03

Walk in ready

Compare your work with full model answers, then practise thinking out loud with the interview system and a full mock interview.

Try a real investigation before you spend anything.

What people say

Feedback from people who did the work.

This training stood out from others I have encountered. It not only tests your ability to spot red flags but also challenges you to present your analysis in a structured report format. The feedback on my work was quick, personalised and constructive.

India
Financial Crime Systems Analyst

Absolutely incredible feedback. I am learning so much working through the cases, and each one builds on the last. Very grateful for this being developed.

Lawrence
Former IRS Investigator

I finished the last advanced case today. I enjoyed it a lot, from the first easy case to the last. This is a very good practice course for someone who really wants to try themselves as an AML analyst.

Iryna
Attorney-at-Law, CAMS, AML Compliance

It gave me the chance to apply my knowledge and investigative approach to a practical scenario. I thoroughly enjoyed working through the case and found it valuable for developing real skills.

Who built it

Made by someone who does the work.

I am an AML and compliance professional with frontline experience investigating suspicious transactions across traditional banking and cryptocurrency. I have filed more than 550 Suspicious Activity Reports and traced illicit funds across Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and Tron.

I built AML First Job because talented people kept telling me the same thing: they understood the theory but had never been given a real case to practise on, and they froze in interviews as a result. This is the bridge I wish had existed when I started.

Questions

Before you start.

I have no AML experience. Where should I start?

Start with the free case to see how an investigation works. If the theory feels new, the Career Starter Bundle gives you the foundations first, so the cases make sense when you reach them.

I already work in AML. Is this still useful?

Yes, especially if you have not worked crypto cases. The cases include on-chain tracing, and the model answers show how a full write-up is structured.

How do I receive the material?

Everything is delivered as instant downloads through Gumroad right after purchase.

How does the written feedback work?

Feedback comes with the Career Accelerator. Submit your work within 90 days of purchase and you get written feedback within 5 to 7 working days per submission.

Can my university or team use the cases?

Yes. Email gires@amlfirstjob.com to talk about education use, group access, or tailored cases.
