Practical CDD training

Substantiating customer due diligence with open sources

Are you looking for a practice-oriented and accredited CDD analyst training? The OSINT training of the International Anti Crime Academy (IACA) offers a unique opportunity to enrich your theoretical knowledge of Customer Due Diligence (CDD) with a focus on practical financial investigation. Our registered programs, including the innovative OSFINT® (Open Source Financial Intelligence) module, are recognized nationally and internationally by financial institutions, supervisory authorities and other organizations.

What will you learn?

What sets this training apart from a theoretical CDD course?

Many existing CDD courses focus mainly on theory. Our OSINT training offers the practice-oriented tools and techniques you can apply directly in your work as a CDD analyst. This includes:

  • ✓Conducting digital investigation into financial risks.
  • ✓Analyzing data from open sources (OSINT) and hidden digital traces (OSFINT®).
  • ✓Effectively tracing money laundering, fraud and other forms of financial crime.

Our training is delivered by experienced instructors holding a CAMS certification (Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist). They combine in-depth knowledge of OSINT with extensive knowledge of compliance and financial regulation. CAMS is their own professional qualification; the training itself leads to the IACA and SPEN titles listed with the modules.

Topics

From standard customer due diligence to enhanced due diligence

The training connects to the work you do every day under the Dutch Anti-Money Laundering Act (Wwft), which will largely be absorbed into the European Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR) from 10 July 2027. You learn to use open sources to substantiate a risk profile: which facts justify standard customer due diligence and which make enhanced due diligence necessary.

You also practice recording a customer file that withstands a review: which source you consulted, at what moment and what you concluded from it. That way you build a file that is traceable for a colleague, an auditor and your supervisory authority.

The training is built up in modules: you start with the basics of digital intelligence-led investigation and build towards advanced search techniques, monitoring and financial open source research with OSFINT®.

Your future

Frequently asked questions about the CDD training

You build the program up module by module. OSINT Module 1 lays the foundation of digital intelligence-led research and concludes with an IACA certificate. Adding Module 2 earns you the SPEN register diploma Registered Open Source Intelligence Analyst®, Module 3 leads to the post-graduate diploma Registered Open Source Intelligence Expert-B® and Module 4 to Expert-A®. Technical OSINT and Cyber-HUMINT are separate specializations; Cyber-HUMINT is open exclusively to law enforcement, security services and government investigators.
From 10 July 2027 the European Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR, Regulation (EU) 2024/1624) applies directly in all member states. The customer due diligence you now know from the Dutch Wwft will be brought into a single European framework, with sharper requirements for substantiating your risk assessment and recording it. What does not change is the research itself: consulting open sources, testing findings and making your file traceable. That is what this training prepares you for.
You pay and plan per module. OSINT Modules 1, 2 and 3 each take three class days and cost € 1,595 per participant, Module 4 takes three class days at € 1,795, Cyber-HUMINT four class days at € 2,295 and Technical OSINT one class day at € 495. All amounts are exempt from VAT. The current start dates are listed on each module's own page.
At the IACA location in Gilze-Rijen, the Netherlands. OSINT Module 1 and Module 2 can also be followed live online: the instructor teaches directly in an interactive virtual classroom, so it is not an e-learning.
No specific prior education is required. Our training courses are suitable for beginners as well as experienced professionals who want to deepen their knowledge of customer due diligence.
For law enforcement, security, financial and intelligence professionals. In practice these are CDD and KYC analysts, compliance officers, onboarding specialists and periodic customer review staff at banks, insurers, payment service providers, trust offices and supervisory authorities.
