Anti-Bribery Awareness Training in brief: Anti-Bribery Awareness Training is an online CPD accredited course from ProCompliance covering the four offences under the Bribery Act. It takes approx. 25 minutes across 3 sections. A 20 question test follows, so learners have their certificate as soon as they pass.
Why this training matters
The Bribery Act carries unlimited fines and an offence of failing to prevent bribery. Adequate procedures are the defence.
Anti-Bribery Awareness explains what bribery is under the Bribery Act 2010 and where the line sits between a gift and a bribe. It also sets out what the law expects of each employee and of the business. Staff finish knowing what to refuse, what to record and who to tell. That is what protects the company.

What the Bribery Act 2010 asks of organisations
The Bribery Act 2010 makes it a crime to offer, give, ask for or take a bribe. Bribing a foreign public official is a crime too. Under section 7, a business also commits an offence when someone acting for it pays a bribe.
A business has a defence if it had good enough procedures to stop bribery. Ministry of Justice guidance says what these look like.
What good procedures include
- Rules that match the bribery risks the business faces.
- Leaders who make clear that bribery is never acceptable.
- A risk check, done again as the business changes.
- Checks on the people and firms who act for the business.
- Telling staff the policy clearly, with training.
- Regular checks that the rules work.
What you will be able to do
- Understand what bribery is and the different types of workplace bribery
- Understand ‘The Bribery Act 2010’ and how to comply with it
- You will understand the difference between a gift and a bribe
