=====================================================

Compliance training programs have become essential for businesses operating in Lebanon, as companies face increasing regulatory demands and risks. To meet this need, numerous compliance training programs are being offered in the country.

Key Features of Effective Compliance Training Programs

Practical Examples

The inclusion of practical examples in the content is a key factor that sets effective compliance training programs apart. According to Smita Hanuman of Standard Bank of SA Ltd, who has undergone the Basel III – Certified Basel Professional program, “The fact that there were practical examples with the content was particularly helpful.”

Expert Trainers

Another important aspect is the expertise and knowledge of the trainers. Tayyeb Mahmood of Ajman Municipality, who took the COBIT 2019 Foundation course, praised his trainer for being “extremely clear and concise” in delivering the material.

Engaging and Entertaining Content

A good compliance training program should also be engaging and entertaining. Paul Clancy of Rowan Dartington, who attended the CGEIT – Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT program, noted that his trainer was “very motivated and knowledgeable, bringing humor to lighten the dry theoretical training subject.”

  • HIPAA Compliance for Developers: A vital course for developers, this program provides real-life examples and is highly appreciated by trainees like Marco van den Berg of ZiuZ Medical B. V.

Compliance training programs are available in various formats to suit different needs and schedules:

  • Online corporate compliance training
  • Weekend courses
  • Evening classes
  • Instructor-led sessions
  • Private courses or one-on-one training with a dedicated trainer
