How providers charge, what a firm of 5, 10 or 25 people pays in a year, the costs that are not on the price list, and what to check before you choose.
Bought course by course, compliance training typically costs £36 to £60 per course per person. Most regulated firms cover around five subjects a year, so that is £180 to £300 per person, every year. All-inclusive pricing charges once per person for every course, which is usually cheaper once a firm trains in more than two subjects.
Prices exclude VAT. Updated 16-Oct-26.
Three models cover almost every provider. Which is cheapest depends on how many people you train and in how many subjects.
The most common model. Each course is bought for each person, typically at £36 to £60 a course. It suits a firm that needs one or two courses. The cost climbs quickly once a firm runs the five or six subjects most regulated firms cover each year.
One price per person covers the whole catalogue. The cost depends on headcount, not on how many subjects you train in, so adding a course for one team costs nothing extra. It suits firms that train in more than two or three subjects.
A trainer runs a session for your firm, usually priced per session or per day. It makes sense for a board briefing or a specific problem, but it rarely works for annual training: new joiners miss it, and the records are whatever the firm keeps itself.
Each firm trains everyone in five subjects: AML, Conduct Rules, Market Abuse, Anti-Bribery and Cyber Security.
| Staff | Per course, at £36 to £60 | Fundsure, every course included |
|---|---|---|
| 5 people | £900 to £1,500 | £600 |
| 10 people | £1,800 to £3,000 | £1,200 |
| 25 people | £4,500 to £7,500 | £3,000 |
Yearly costs, excluding VAT. With all-inclusive pricing the other 15 courses in the catalogue cost nothing extra, so training a team in sanctions or data protection as well does not change the figure. A firm that only needs anti-money laundering training, such as an FCA Annex 1 firm, can take that course on its own for £60 per person per year.
The licence fee is often the smaller part. The rest is time, and the record a supervisor will ask to see.
Someone has to assign the courses, send reminders and follow up the people who have not finished. In a small firm that is usually the compliance officer, and it comes back every year.
A supervisor asks who was trained, on what, when, and whether they passed. If the provider does not keep that record in a form you can export, the firm has to build it.
People join part-way through the year and need training in their first weeks. Check whether a provider charges a full year for someone who joins in October.
Staff who sit an identical course each year stop learning from it, and a regulator notices. Check whether courses are rewritten as the rules change and carry the year of their edition.
If you change provider, ask whether your completed training comes with you. Otherwise your records restart from nothing.
