The course was developed by Sumsub Academy, the company’s dedicated educational hub, that unites 40+ experts offering theoretical fundamentals and practical guidance on user and business verification, anti-money laundering (AML) compliance, transaction monitoring and more. To date, over 10,000 students have successfully completed the online courses and obtained their digital certificates.

The Fraud Prevention course was created in response to the growing demand among Sumsub Academy past learners and the wider market interest. Packed with practical knowledge and real-life cases, the course will prove most useful to risk managers, internal auditors, anti-fraud strategy professionals, AML compliance officers and senior management seeking to enhance their understanding of digital fraud risk and operational defense.
The course is comprised of 26 micro-learning sessions across 6 main modules:
- Digital fraud foundations
- Fraud lifecycle, entities and data
- Fraud signals and detection methods
- Common fraud schemes
- Industry-specific fraud risks
- Operating a fraud prevention function
One of the key highlights of the course is its strong industry focus: specific sessions will cover fraud prevention workflows in crypto, financial services, iGaming, marketplaces and e-commerce sectors. Upon completion, participants will receive an official certificate and will be equipped with the skills to identify, investigate, and prevent fraud across onboarding, account access, and transactional flows. They will gain a structured understanding of how fraudsters operate, how risk signals are generated and analyzed, and how a full fraud-prevention lifecycle works in practice.
“With the launch of a comprehensive Fraud Prevention course, the Sumsub Academy continues to build a unique practical and free education in the industry – bringing future-forward education to the industry experts, combining powerful industry experience with insights from recognized speakers across multiple sectors where fraudsters operate. The more the global business community is aware of the recent fraud schemes and ready-to-implement prevention tools, the less space we leave for fraudsters to succeed”, says Alex Wood, BBC Presenter (Scam Secrets), Keynote Speaker and Government Advisor.
