How It Works

On-demand training, available 24/7, on your schedule.

SCORM-compliant lessons — 3 to 5 lessons per course, 10–20 minutes each, with quizzes and a final exam.

Stop and resume anytime — pick up a lesson days later exactly where you left off.

Progress tracked in our LMS — grades, quiz history, and completion records maintained for you.

Individual, track, or custom — take single courses, a certification track, or a program built around your own fraud tools.

Delivered your way — online self-paced, in-house on site, or live webinar.

Group & corporate pricing — available for teams training together.

Continuing Education

Courses count toward real CPE credit — not just a certificate for your desk.

Every Fraud Practice course and certification track ends in a final exam and a Certificate of Completion, meeting the criteria for Self-Study CPE credit hours. Completion and grade records are maintained in our Learning Management System, so you can validate hours whenever a board asks.
