Very informative
This course covers the generic aspects of AML but dives into the specifics of applying core concepts to the digital assets industry. Very useful.
It’s very useful for newcomers in crypto.
Please rectify some of the questions and answers. I was having difficulties in some questions where the answers are jumbled up or the questions are part of the answers option. Other than that, the materials are quite good.
Some of the questions and answers appear to be mixed up. A few questions seem incomplete, and some answer choices look like they were accidentally included as part of the question, which creates confusion when compared to the module. Because of this, even when I select what seems correct, the results show my answers as mistakes compared to the other choices.
