In 2025, the International Anti Crime Academy submitted the Certified Global Sanctions Investigator® program to the Centre for Post-Initial Education (CPION) for assessment. This organization serves as the official point of contact for educational institutions wishing to have their post-initial courses registered as accredited registered courses. The CPION is responsible for ensuring the quality of, among others, the Foundation for Continuing Education Netherlands (SPEN). Only courses that meet strict quality criteria are eligible for the 'registered course' designation and are also included in the Dutch Course Database.
A requirement for registration with the SPEN is that the course material offered, in this case the Certified Global Sanctions Investigator® program, meets the expectations of a registered program in terms of level, depth, topicality and relevance to the labor market, as assessed by the expert Advisory Committee affiliated with the institute. When assessing a registered program, various elements such as content, duration, number of teaching hours, study load, practical assignments, exam assignments and so on are reviewed and monitored by this Advisory Committee.
The above procedure has resulted in the International Anti Crime Academy being the only party authorized to issue a registered and recognized diploma for the training:
- ✓Certified Global Sanctions Investigator®
To safeguard the quality and labor market relevance of the Certified Global Sanctions Investigator (CGSI) program, the International Anti Crime Academy has established an external Advisory Committee on Sanctions Investigation. This committee consists of professionals working in the financial sector, including compliance, supervision and financial investigation, in both public and private institutions.
The Advisory Committee monitors and advises on the alignment of the Certified Global Sanctions Investigator® training with practice in the aforementioned sectors of the labor market.
