Financial Crime Isn't Slowing Down
In 2025, Canadians reported $704 million lost to fraud (Investment Executive, 2025), and anonymous companies are estimated to launder C$113 billion through Canada every year (Reuters/CISC).
Meanwhile, the workforce meant to catch this activity is aging out. Nearly a third (32%) of Canada’s anti-money laundering workforce is 50 or older (add source: Job Bank).
If you’ve spent years behind a desk processing transactions, handling claims, or managing accounts, it’s time to move up.
Built to Make You Job-Ready
The Financial Security, Compliance and Risk Mitigation diploma covers 13 courses across 8 focus areas, including AML investigations, cybersecurity, and forensic accounting. You’ll graduate with a capstone portfolio and tangible, presentable proof of what you can do.
Your coursework also makes you eligible to sit the CIPP/C (Certified Information Privacy Professional/Canada), a credential from the IAPP (International Association of Privacy Professionals), and builds a foundation toward further certifications like CAMS or CFCS.
The program is informed by a subject-matter expert who has held senior risk roles, including VP-level credit risk modelling, at major Canadian and international banks.

What to Expect From the Program
PROGRAM FORMAT
The program is delivered fully online and self-paced, so you can study around a full-time job or other commitments.
There is no in-person placement. Instead, you complete a capstone project, applying what you’ve learned to a compliance or risk challenge – the kind of proof employers want to see.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENT
Admission is open. You’ll need an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), or the Wonderlic SLE Q-17. No prior degree required.
PROGRAM LENGTH
68 weeks in total (1,360 hours).
Common Questions Before You Commit
“68 weeks is a long time.”
It’s the cost of covering the entire program. Shorter programs mean shorter training.
“Can I actually stick with self-paced study?”
It takes real discipline. This program is built for people who are already balancing work and other commitments, and want a self-paced structure that allows them to study.
“What does it cost?”
It costs a total of $27,280 — $25,000 tuition, $1,500 books, $780 fees. Median pay for related roles (NOC 11109, Toronto region) is $34.62/hour, or roughly $72,000/year full-time (Job Bank).
“Can I actually break into this field?”
Yes. Admission is open, no degree required, and the field has steady, ongoing demand as experienced compliance workers retire. Your capstone project gives you proof of your capability to show employers.
You Don't Have to Start Over to Move Up
You already understand finance. This program turns that experience into a specialized, in-demand role, without requiring you to abandon what you already know.
After you submit, Program Advisor will contact you within one business day to answer your questions, walk you through the admission requirements, and help you understand your funding options.
