Program Overview and Materials

As a CRMS–GS candidate, you will receive exclusive, dynamic, and engaging training content to develop your knowledge, apply your expertise to real-world sanctions scenarios, and prepare for the required certification examination.

CRMS–GS e-Learning Plan (ELP)
A self-paced learning path that serves as your main study guide for the program. The ELP guides you through expertly curated reading modules, high-quality instructional videos narrated by industry expert practitioners, and other sanctions resources – with knowledge checks and practice quizzes embedded throughout.
Sanctions Analytic Framework
A rigorous, proprietary method for identifying, assessing, and managing sanctions risks, in the form of an interactive module. The framework provides a step-by-step guide that can be applied to any potential customer, deal, or transaction to analyze and mitigate sanctions-related risks, including those related to even the most complex UN, U.S., EU, and UK programs.
Scenario-Based Training Exercises
Fact pattern scenarios and transaction alert exercises that allow candidates to practice applying the Sanctions Analytic Framework to hypothetical situations—based on real cases of customers and transactions that presented sanctions risks.
Full DOLFIN Access
Participants will continue their sanctions learning after the training with access to expertly curated resources and up-to-date information on evolving sanctions on DOLFIN.

“The CRMS-GS certification program delivered on the value promised. Its biggest differentiator is that it was developed by the world’s top sanctions and financial crime compliance experts. After completing the program, our certified employees are now more efficient and effective in decreasing unwarranted escalations of transactions and assessing and managing global sanctions risks faced by our bank. They are well equipped and also have greater sense of purpose and professional satisfaction.”
