Who needs AML certification in Ireland?
Every designated person under the Criminal Justice Act must ensure staff are trained on money-laundering risk, and be able to prove it. That covers accountancy practices, insurance brokers, estate agents, wealth managers and other regulated firms.
Inspectors ask for training records first: certificates with dates, scores and content.

CPD hours, the exam and who needs it
The three things firms ask before they certify a team, answered in the detail an inspector will want.
CPD hours and who accredits them
The AML course carries CPD accreditation codes issued by the LIA and the Institute of Banking and is recorded at 0.5 CPD hours. The certificate states the code and the hours, so members of CPA Ireland, Chartered Accountants Ireland and ACCA can record it as structured learning, and staff under the Minimum Competency Code can log it as formal CPD. No regulator accredits AML courses; the Central Bank inspects the outcome.
The exam
Questions are drawn at random from a larger bank, so no two learners see the same paper and the exam tests understanding rather than memory. A learner can retake it without repeating the course. The pass is recorded with the score, the date and the course version, and the certificate is generated at that moment.
Which roles need it
Everyone in a designated person whose work touches clients, client money or onboarding, from reception to the board. For the MLRO, the head of compliance and the head of AML/CFT compliance, who hold controlled functions under Fitness and Probity, the certificate also forms part of the competence evidence the firm must hold, and in SEAR firms part of the reasonable-steps record.
