AML Training Resources for Art Market Participants and Estate Agencies
Summary
HMRC has published AML communication training resources including video films and discussion notes for art market participants and estate agencies. The materials include 'Framed' (art market) and 'Closing costs' (estate agency) training films with supporting discussion notes. The resources are designed to help supervised businesses train staff on their anti-money laundering responsibilities under the Money Laundering Regulations.
What changed
HMRC has published a collection of AML communication training resources for supervised businesses in the art market and estate agency sectors. The resources include two video training films ('Framed' for art market participants and 'Closing costs' for estate agencies) along with corresponding discussion notes available in HTML and PDF formats. Video transcriptions are also provided for accessibility purposes.
These training materials are available to all HMRC-supervised businesses and can be used to support staff training on anti-money laundering obligations.

Details
Use these training products to support you in training yourself and your staff on the anti-money laundering (AML) responsibilities relevant to your estate agency or art market participant business, ensuring everyone understands and complies with their legal obligations.
The lessons contained within these materials can be applied more broadly across HMRC ’s supervised population.
How to use these training materials
- business owner without staff: watch the film and think about the questions in the training material. Then check the potential answers to see if you have missed anything. Not all the questions will be relevant to you if you do not employ anyone, but you should come back to them if you take on staff
- business owner with staff: use this material to run a training session. This can also be incorporated into the induction programme for new staff. We expect training sessions will take around 2 hours, although this will vary based on the size of your teams and how much time you allow for discussion
- watch the film as a group or have everyone watch the film before the session. Then put the questions to the group to prompt discussion. You can split your staff into smaller discussion groups if you like
- discussing your answers at the end of each question can be a good way to share understanding. The potential answers are just some of the things that your teams might say, and you can use them to prompt further discussions. The discussion questions are split into groups by subject, so you can focus your session on the areas you think are most relevant to your staff. This will also make it easy for you to break up the learning into more than one session if you need to
- integrate the lessons learned into your staff briefings and internal training materials, and ensure this training is recorded in your training log
- encourage your staff members to take prompt action when issues arise and to consult official HMRC guidance for further information
Why this matters
By actively engaging with these AML training films and supporting materials, you help your staff stay compliant with their obligations under Money Laundering Regulations.
Providing clear, engaging training reduces the risk of noncompliance, strengthens the businesses understanding of legal responsibilities, and helps minimise operational disruption.
Proactive training also supports compliance with your internal AML processes and reduces the likelihood of penalties, supervisory action, or business interruption.
Next steps
Use the materials provided in this pack during your internal training sessions. Regular, engaging training helps ensure staff understand their AML obligations and protects your business from potential exploitation. Encourage staff to consult GOV.UK and HMRC updates for the latest guidance and compliance information.
