The OCC’s unique collaborative approach was formed on the basis that there is no competitive advantage in being the ‘most compliant’ firm. By working together in the development of training materials, leading firms are able to contribute their individual knowledge, abilities and processes and, through their conformity, determine a standard for the profession. Furthermore, each course has had the input of leading lawyers and represents the work of the greatest minds in the profession.

The high quality solutions that the OCC produces are easily adapted to firms of different sizes and with different needs and are regularly updated to neatly fulfil the needs of each member. This approach benefits each firm in its aim of providing a tailored solution for the need of every member and benefits the profession as a whole by establishing clear standards of best practice.

OCC online training courses are tailored to the needs of its member firms, designed to satisfy regulatory and other compliance requirements whilst meeting the quality standards of the world’s leading law firms. Course enrolment, delivery and tracking are managed by any authorised personnel or administrator from any internet-enabled PC.

Firms can customise the user interface of all OCC courses to include their own style guide, logo and corporate colours. Training content is accurate and current, yet flexible enough to evolve with internal and external policy changes and requirements. OCC training courses can also integrate firm-specific materials such as policies and procedures within the firm’s intranet or external sources of information where necessary.

With a combination of fun and interactive lessons, case studies and practical exercises, the OCC training methodology enhances comprehension and awareness. User results are assessed and delivered immediately upon completion of course exercises, with certificates awarded upon completion.

The OCC has developed specialised versions of its courses and now supports international firms, including a range of firms with offices in multiple jurisdictions in Europe and across the world; national firms operating in one or more UK office; and local firms and sole practitioners.

OCC courses in the UK and in Hong Kong are CPD (and where appropriate RME) accredited, allowing solicitors to conveniently satisfy AML training compliance regulations, and fulfil the Law Society’s Continuing Professional Development and Risk management Elective requirements.
