Course Description
Uranium, dual-use equipment, advanced materials and certain technologies move under export control and non-proliferation regimes — and the FATF has made counter-proliferation financing a standing obligation, updated again in June 2026. For a uranium producer exporting to utilities across Europe and Asia, or an industrial company shipping dual-use equipment, this is not a theoretical risk.
This course develops practical capability in export controls and counter-proliferation financing. Participants learn the export control and non-proliferation architecture, classification of controlled goods and dual-use items, licensing and end-use controls, the FATF counter-proliferation financing framework, red flags for proliferation networks, and how to build screening and controls into a producer's or exporter's own processes.
What you will achieve
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Explain the export control and non-proliferation architecture
- Understand nuclear supply and non-proliferation regimes
- Classify controlled goods and dual-use items
- Apply licensing, end-use and end-user controls
- Explain the FATF counter-proliferation financing framework
- Recognise proliferation financing red flags
- Screen transactions and counterparties for proliferation risk
- Build export control compliance into business processes
How the course is delivered
The course combines export control frameworks with counter-proliferation financing, using realistic classification and screening exercises. Participants work through licensing, end-use and red flag scenarios relevant to nuclear and dual-use trade.
The programme connects the physical export control regime with the financial counter-proliferation obligations, which are usually taught separately and to different audiences.
