FCA Compliance training for small UK firms
Get your team covered. Prove it in minutes.
Skillcast's CoreCompliance offers subscription-based FCA compliance training for small UK financial services firms without a dedicated compliance team. It keeps staff training current as FCA requirements change and produces audit-ready evidence of who completed what and when.
150+ ready-made courses across Anti-Money Laundering, Consumer Duty, the Senior Managers and Certification Regime, Non-Financial Misconduct, Data Protection, GDPR and more in one yearly subscription.
FCA-specific content | Updated as the rules change | Evidence in one click | No compliance team required



THE ACTUAL PROBLEM
Keeping staff training current and evidenced should not be a complex project.
In most small regulated firms, nobody's job title says compliance. It lands on the owner, the operations lead or the HR lead, on top of everything else. Then the rules change, and it lands again.
CoreCompliance takes the building, maintaining and much of the administration off your plate, leaving you with training that stays current and evidence you can produce on demand.
All courses are off-the-shelf and non-customizable. In case you need to upload your own courses, or tailor the content, another Skillcast plan may be suited for you.
Coverage, evidence, reassurance
One subscription for FCA training, ongoing updates and training evidence.
FCA training you can keep current and prove
