IN-PERSON COMPLIANCE LEARNING CATALOGUE MENA
With the continuing growth of regulatory change
and increasing consequences of compliance failure,
organizations are being driven to improve and
increase their compliance programs and procedures,
as well as to increase efficiency while improving
the quality of results. This takes specific skills and
insight, many of which are in short supply worldwide.
As regulatory experts, we offer up-to-date
governance, risk and compliance in-person learning
courses, all of which are designed and taught by
regulatory and compliance specialists. With the
regulatory environment as challenging and dynamic
as it currently is, investing in skills development will
create a vital resource that will help any organization
to successfully navigate the compliance challenge,
now and in the future.
The courses are practical, interactive and cost-
effective, and they are designed to empower
people with the right information to take effective
decisions at any stage of the compliance process,
therefore substantially reducing the organization’s
exposure to risk.
Organizations and individuals choose our courses
to support them to:
• Understand their compliance responsibilities
• Prioritize and reduce their workload without
increasing exposure to risk
• Optimize the management, tracking and
reporting of compliance and risk learning
• Mitigate the risk of compliance breaches and
protecting reputational value
• Demonstrate training compliance at every level.
Thomson Reuters In-Person Compliance Learning
is tailored to support your business at a country,
regional and global level. Our training courses can
be delivered in English, Arabic and French.
We also partner with accredited educational institutions
to offer courses with a strong theoretical and practical
component. We can, for example, take a real life
case from company files, remove any recognizable
references, and use it as a case study in the course.
Our courses are available as in-house content,
where we train to the specific needs of a corporate
environment, or through our public learning courses,
available to anyone with an interest and desire to
learn about the subject.
PUBLIC COMPLIANCE LEARNING

IN-HOUSE COMPLIANCE LEARNING
Our in-house courses are designed to help executives
and team members to meet compliance needs,
to instil a culture of compliance throughout the
organization and to impart the specific skills needed
to navigate a rapidly changing
regulatory landscape.
The benefit of In-House Compliance Learning is that
we are able to incorporate the company’s procedures
and programs into the learning material, making
the course content specific and very practical.
We offer a range of topics that suit all levels of the
organizational hierarchy, from board members and
senior executives to entry level employees, and we
endeavour to make the content of our courses as
interactive and applicable to real life as possible.
Any participant attending our course should
be able to apply their theoretical knowledge
as soon as they return to the office.
We keep classes small and take care not to mix
competency levels so that we can fully address
the needs of the group and support them
in achieving their objectives.
CUSTOMIZED COURSES
In addition to our catalogue of market-ready courses,
we can also provide you with engaging, customized
content to assist you in achieving best practice,
meeting organizational objectives and ensuring
compliance. We will work with you to select one of our
existing market-ready courses
and personalize it to make it more relevant to
your business.
We can do this by:
• Inserting links to your company policies and/
or procedures
• Tailoring scenarios, content and case studies
to your industry or business
• Creating quizzes to test on the areas
of most importance to your organization.
If there is no appropriate course amongst our
list of in-house courses, we are able to design
a course to fit.
We also offer one-to-one mentorship for
professionals, which is particularly useful for
someone who is new to a role and requires detailed
knowledge and an intensive learning experience.
It is also useful for professionals who wish to
expand their portfolio of skills.
