About
NAMLC
The National AML Learning Center is an independent certification authority focused on validating AML/BSA training completion and maintaining public trust in compliance education standards.
"To strengthen the integrity of AML/BSA compliance training by providing an independent, transparent, and accessible certification verification system that employers, auditors, and regulators can trust."
NAMLC was established to address a critical gap in the compliance training ecosystem: the need for an independent body that can validate training completion without the conflicts of interest inherent in self-certification.
