The platform’s free, practical courses now deliver recognized learning hours and certificates to formally advance compliance professionals globally
Sumsub is proud to announced that its specialized educational hub, Sumsub Academy, has received official accreditation from an external Continuous Professional Development (CPD) provider.
The platform offers a comprehensive suite of expert-led learning programs aimed at assuring security across the entire digital lifecycle, from compliance onboarding to fraud prevention. The recognition builds on the Academy’s strong traction, having already trained more than 15,000 professionals across the global risk and compliance sectors. Following the evaluation completed at the end of May, certificates earned across the Academy’s core training tracks now serve as recognized evidence of professional competence and growth.
Bridging the Tactical Gap in Financial Crime Defense
This shift toward formal accreditation addresses a critical need for verified expertise in an increasingly complex risk environment. As compliance teams face more sophisticated threats and rapidly evolving global regulations, purely theoretical training is no longer an adequate defense. Consequently, the industry is seeing a major push toward standardized, verified credentials that carry official weight across international borders.
"Compliance teams require practical, actionable knowledge that translates directly into their daily workflows," said Andrew Novoselsky, Chief Product Officer at Sumsub. "Achieving CPD accreditation transforms Sumsub Academy into a globally validated engine for professional growth. By keeping these comprehensive courses entirely free, we are empowering our partners, enterprise customers, and individual analysts to look beyond simple regulatory checkboxes and gain the exact operational skills required to proactively mitigate risk throughout the customer lifecycle."
Making Compliance Learning Count
Formalizing this CPD framework fundamentally elevates the Academy's value for both independent learners and enterprise organizations. For independent professionals, it eliminates the high cost of maintaining up-to-date skills by delivering measurable, recorded training hours that can be seamlessly added to CVs, LinkedIn profiles, and internal performance records.
For team leaders, the platform serves as a budget-friendly onboarding and refresher framework that establishes a standardized baseline of operational knowledge across departments without exhausting internal resources. Concurrently, it provides Sumsub’s partners, Sales, and Customer Success teams with a highly credible, low-pressure asset to help clients navigate complex onboarding logic and optimize their verification funnels.
Engineered for Real-World Workflows
Built on the combined expertise of Sumsub’s internal compliance experts and active external practitioners, the self-paced online curriculum translates complex regulatory realities into daily operations. The tracks cover critical compliance domains, including advanced user verification, digital fraud schemes, and international KYC and KYB procedures. Upon meeting the specific course requirements, learners automatically receive their accredited certificates to accelerate their professional development.
