Course Overview

The Credential for People Who Build Antibribery Management, Not Just Describe It

ISO 37001 gives organisations a structured way to prevent, detect and address bribery through an anti-bribery management system (ABMS). Growing adoption has created  demand for people who can implement one.

As a Lead Implementer, you scope the ABMS, assess bribery risk, set the policy and controls — from due diligence to reporting and investigation — and get the organisation ready for certification using PECB’s IMS2 methodology. Veloraa delivers the official PECB curriculum online, with practical examples, exercises and quizzes so you can apply what you learn straight away.

Certification Demand Is Rising

More organisations want ISO 37001 certification — and people to implement it.

Bribery Risk Keeps Evolving

Bad actors keep refining their methods.
