The Professional Certificate in Money Laundering Expert Cadre Course (MLEC Course) operated by the Financial Intelligence and Investigation Bureau (FIIB) successfully underwent the Internal Learning Programme Accreditation (ILPA) of Hong Kong Police College (HKPC) in June this year. MLEC Course has become the first non-HKPC programme accredited with Qualifications Framework (QF) Level 5. The accreditation affirms the qualification and professional standing of the trained officers in giving expert evidence in court, which can enhance the Force’s professionalism in prosecuting money laundering.
To assure professional recognition of the course and qualification of the trainees, FIIB applied earlier to HKPC for ILPA. The Programme Accreditation Panel comprised three professionals from the fields of education and training, quality assurance and anti-money laundering. Upon examination of the course materials submitted by FIIB and onsite visit, the panel members gave positive comments on the curriculum, training facilities and staff members of the course.
The first MLEC Course was held in September 2022. 25 officers and five guest trainees from other disciplined services attended and completed the course successfully. The first MLEC Course accredited with QF Level 5 will commence in August this year.
