Fraud and Cyber Academy
Cifas Fraud and Cyber Academy’s provides independently certified and regulated qualifications and specialist courses to deliver the skills and knowledge to combat fraud, cyber and financial crime in all its forms.
Our Professional Certificates and certified courses are independently certified by SFJ Awards. SFJ Awards supports the many organisations - like Cifas - who devise their own high quality learning programmes that are not part of the national Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF).
In addition, Our SFJ Awards Professional Certificates are recognised by the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual), which regulates qualifications, examinations and assessments in England.
We work in partnership with established academic and industry partners who are experts in their field, to offer a range of short and self study courses covering general and specialist skills in cybercrime and fraud investigation and prevention.
Cifas Fraud and Cyber Academy provides learning to professionals and organisations regardless of whether they work for, or are Cifas member organisations. However, Cifas member organisations and their people have additional access to a wide range of data, intelligence and research to support their studies as well as protect their business.
