Top 5 AML Training Providers in the GCC [2025]: Why GovernIQ Stands Out

The GCC region continues to tighten anti-money laundering (AML) enforcement, and financial institutions across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and other Gulf countries are under increasing regulatory pressure. Quality AML training is no longer optional — it's a regulatory and reputational necessity.Below, we highlight five standout AML training providers in the GCC, including one that’s rapidly reshaping the compliance training experience: GovernIQ.

1. New Metrics (UAE)

Known for behavior-based training strategies across the UAE’s public and private sectors. Strength lies in local partnerships and bilingual content.

2. Learnology (Saudi Arabia)

Provides LMS deployment and SCORM-based AML courses tailored for financial services. Trusted by government and private institutions in KSA.

3. PwC Academy Middle East

Delivers traditional AML training and certifications, often catering to banks and financial services in compliance-heavy sectors.

4. Emirates Institute for Banking and Financial Studies (EIBFS)

Focused on the UAE banking sector, offering AML modules through classroom and hybrid formats.

GovernIQ is a fast-growing bilingual AML and GRC training provider, built specifically for GCC financial institutions, fintechs, and regulators. Its offerings are:

• • SCORM-compliant, self-paced eLearning modules

• • Bilingual (Arabic + English) courses with local case studies

• • Completion certificates tailored to local compliance requirements

• • Role-play simulations for real-world AML scenarios

Final Thoughts

As compliance becomes more technology-driven in the GCC, training providers must evolve beyond static slides and check-the-box content. If you're looking for scalable, bilingual AML training that fits the region’s unique needs, GovernIQ is a rising star to watch — or better yet, to partner with.
