Introduction:

Compliance is not an end in itself—it protects companies from liability risks, reputational damage, and fines. To ensure that regulations don’t gather dust in a drawer, practical training courses are needed that are easy to understand, encourage reflection, and positively influence behavior in everyday working life.

In this article, we show you how to set up effective compliance training with Lessonator in just a few steps—even without any prior legal knowledge.

What should be included in compliance training?

The focus areas vary depending on the industry and legal form. Common topics include:

  • Code of Conduct
  • Anti-corruption and bribery
  • Data protection & information security
  • Antitrust law / Competition law
  • Conflicts of interest and secondary employment
  • Reporting channels for violations / whistleblowing

Tip: Include internal guidelines and specific case studies—this significantly increases relevance.

Compliance is not just a legal issue—it is a question of corporate culture.

– Prof. Dr. Guido Kickelbick, University of Business and Law Berlin

How to build your training course with Lessonator

Introduction & Goal definition

Start with a clear learning objective and an introduction to the topic:

  • Why is compliance important?
  • What does this mean for the specific field of work?

Goal: Raise awareness and highlight potential risks.

Structure content

Divide the training into meaningful modules, e.g.:

  • Module 1: Fundamentals & Responsibility
  • Module 2: Typical risks in companies
  • Module 3: Reporting procedures & behavior in an emergency

Each module should be supplemented with a short quiz or interactive element.

Practical design

With Lessonator you can:

  • Implement case studies interactively
  • Embed explanatory videos
  • Incorporate multiple-choice questions or drag & drop elements

The goal: Not just imparting knowledge, but changing behavior.

Evidence & documentation

For many companies, verifiability is a must—especially for internal reviews or external audits.
With a SCORM export from Lessonator, you can integrate the training into an LMS (e.g., Moodle, Docebo, or TalentLMS) and:

  • Document learning times & progress
  • Issue certificates automatically
  • Repeat exams if necessary

Bonus: Content that should not be missed

  • Employee obligations – What do I need to know, what do I need to do?
  • Examples of violations – From practice (anonymized)
  • Contact points & FAQs – Who can help if you have any questions?

Conclusion

Good compliance training not only protects your company—it also shows your employees that integrity and responsibility are taken seriously. With Lessonator, you can quickly build legally compliant and understandable courses that really resonate.

Start now, minimize risks, and make compliance part of your culture.
