About this course

This course introduces the fraud methods organizations meet most: impersonation of executives, colleagues and suppliers, forged documents and false identities, invoice fraud and payment diversion. It teaches the practical checks to make before paying, signing or sharing, and how to raise a concern: what to report, to whom and how fast. It’s written for every employee, and in particular for the people who handle payments, invoices and customer documents.

Most fraud succeeds because it looks routine: an invoice with new bank details, an urgent request from a familiar name, a document that passes a glance. The person who processes it is the last line of defense, and a short pause and a verification step are what separate a loss from a near miss. The course builds that habit across the organization and pairs naturally with the Business Email Compromise course in the Cybersecurity category, which covers the email side of the same attacks.

  • Scenarios and a quick check in every lesson
  • Web and mobile app, including offline

Fraud Awareness and Prevention FAQ

Yes. Every TechClass user license includes the Essentials courses in the Course Library, and this is one of them. There is no fee per course or per learner.

About 60 minutes, in short lessons. It is self-paced, so a learner can stop and continue on any device, including the mobile app, and offline.

Yes. A certificate of completion is issued when the knowledge check is passed, and the completion is recorded for your reporting.

It supports one, where a rule asks that people are trained on the subject, and TechClass records who completed it. Whether a requirement is met depends on your own policies and processes, so that is a question for your compliance lead or legal adviser.

Library courses are ready to use as they are. You can build and fully edit your own courses in TechClass, including from your own policies with the AI Course Creator, and combine both in one learning program.

An Essentials course gives everyone the concepts and rules in about an hour. A Skills course goes deeper for the roles that need it: about 8 hours with practice, a graded assessment and a certificate that lists the skills, licensed per learner.

English, at this stage.
