Professionals in anti-corruption, asset recovery, business integrity, governance and related topics need a range of advanced competencies – to master the intricacies of financial investigations, for example, or hone analytical and research capabilities.

At the Basel Institute, we know that much valuable expertise is gained “on the job” through training, mentoring and hands-on experience. Our existing learning opportunities meet these needs and empower communities of international professionals.

With advanced continuing education opportunities, we want to take learning and skills development to the next level. And in doing so, help new generations of professionals to enhance their competencies and careers.
