Sample compliance courses
Here are a few examples of common compliance courses we develop and customize:
Continuous compliance learning that reduces risk
“Effective compliance training is part of a robust compliance program as defined by regulators such as the U.S. Department of Justice in its Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs.”
If employees only see compliance once a year, they forget it. That is normal. It also creates risk. Xcelus can help you build a simple reinforcement program by applying learning science principles like Spaced Repetition, using short scenario reminders, manager talking points, and targeted monthly touchpoints.
Building a culture of compliance requires more than annual training. Ongoing communication and reinforcement play a critical role
- Short compliance reminders that fit busy schedules
- Campaign-style learning across the year, multiple touchpoints
- Focus on high-risk topics and real decisions
- Helps create a culture of compliance and speaking up
Learn how reinforcement and reminders support better recall over time.
Scenario-Based Compliance Learning
Most compliance failures don’t happen because employees haven’t heard the rule. They happen when someone is busy, unsure, or under pressure — and makes a decision in the moment.
Our decision-based scenarios are designed to reflect real workplace dynamics, including authority pressure, time constraints, and competing incentives. Employees practice recognizing risk before it escalates — not after the fact.
Many organizations extend these scenarios into structured reinforcement “decision stacks” deployed throughout the year to strengthen judgment and consistency.
Why It Works
-
Short, focused learning is easier to remember
-
Scenarios feel like real workplace situations — not lectures
-
Frequent touchpoints reduce forgetting
-
Managers gain simple tools to reinforce expectations
Our approach is grounded in how people actually learn and make decisions at work.
Mobile first training, training employees how they work and learn
We design scenario-based training that works on phones first—without sacrificing compliance rigor.
We design scenario-based training that works on phones first and still meets compliance standards. Training can be delivered in your LMS, in Teams, or as short video reminders. If you prefer, we can publish and host video content on Vimeo so your team can embed it within your existing workspaces.
Watch a few short scenario examples below
These are quick examples of how we turn common policy moments into training that employees will actually watch.
Interactive Scenario Simulations
Move beyond passive training. Learners navigate real workplace environments — such as a virtual office building — where they engage with colleagues, evaluate compliance scenarios, and receive immediate feedback on decisions.
This approach transforms compliance from information consumption into applied decision-making.
LimeSmart microlearning courses
LimeSmart is a shorter alternative to traditional compliance training. These bite-sized courses use scenarios to re-engage employees with simple, repeatable touchpoints throughout the year.
Imagine a Code of Conduct learning experience that takes minutes per month rather than a long annual course. For many companies, this improves engagement and reduces training fatigue.
What clients say
“Everything went very smoothly and we are very pleased working with Xcelus. Thank you to you and your team for making out annual code of conduct update so easy.”
Compliance Manager, Regional Insurance Company
“We have had a great deal of positive feedback from the social media training. Our training department has received a number of calls requesting more training like this; needless to say, this request is quite unusual!”
Corporate Communications Officer, Major US Bank
“If this is the standard we can expect from all of the training modules, this will clearly be an example of best in class training.”
Compliance Officer, East Coast Pharmaceutical Company
These questions come up often when compliance teams review their training approach.
In many cases, yes. Compliance training is most effective when employees fully understand the content. In some countries, local laws or regulatory expectations require that compliance training be provided in the employee’s native language. Even when it is not legally required, untranslated training can increase the risk of misunderstanding important topics.
Yes. We customize compliance training to match your Code of Conduct, key policies, and risk areas. Scenarios are tailored to reflect realistic situations employees may encounter in your organization.
Continuous compliance learning uses short scenario videos, reminders, and manager talking points delivered throughout the year. These touchpoints are focused on high-risk moments and common questions employees face, without overwhelming them with long courses.
A Code of Conduct course is an important foundation and may be enough for some organizations. However, many compliance leaders find that one-time training does not fully support long-term behavior. Continuous learning helps reinforce expectations throughout the year.
Traditional courses focus on rules and policies. Scenario-based training focuses on real workplace decisions. Employees see realistic situations, consider options, and learn how to respond when something feels unclear or uncomfortable. This improves recall and judgment.
Yes. Most studies show that employees forget a large portion of training content within weeks, especially if they do not use it regularly. In compliance, this creates risk when employees face real situations months later. That is why reinforcement and reminders are so important.
Tell us what you need, and we will recommend the right approach
See how behavioral learning and scenarios improve awareness and reduce risk. If you need a Code of Conduct course or another compliance course, we can move quickly. If you want better retention and lower risk, we can build a continuous learning program around your highest-risk topics.
