Cross Cultural Consultants

To commence the journey into the digital world, Cross Cultural Consultants worked with us to build a suite of elearning modules.

Traditionally the courses that Cross Cultural Consultants deliver are predominately face-to-face. This requires a facilitator to travel to remote parts of the country where participant numbers may be lower. The Lucid team partnered with CCC to design and deliver a digital learning strategy that complemented existing model. The digital approach catered for all learners, particularly where face-to-face is not an option.

Lucid supported Cross Cultural Consultants with the following services to make this a reality:

  • Development of a LMS with a payment gateway for subscriptions.
  • Core materials digitised and uploaded to the new web platform;
  • Marketing videos; and
  • Development of an elearning series to support face-to-face delivery

Developing a series of elearning modules

To commence the journey into the digital world, Cross Cultural Consultants commissioned the design and development of a short elearning module that delivers foundational knowledge on working with cultural differences. The key learning objective of the module was to explore and explain a model for understanding cultural difference and its impact on people interaction.

Topics in the Working with Cultural Difference elearning module included:

  • Cultural Development
  • The Culture Layer Cake
  • Key ideas in Cross Cultural research
  • Cross Cultural views of time
  • Individualism and Collectivism
 

Over 10,000 participants have registered and complete the Working with Cultural Difference online learning pathway. Since it’s success, CCC have partnered with Lucid to deliver other versions of the program for large corporates and local government agencies. New digital learning approaches have also been adopted to deliver other programs aimed at Closing the Gap. For example, Aboriginal History.

An accessible course can still create an inaccessible learning experience

You can build an elearning course with strong colour contrast, meaningful alt text, accurate captions, keyboard navigation and screen-reader support, and still create an inaccessible learning experience.

The problem may happen before the learner even reaches the course.

The invitation email may contain unclear links. The login screen may not work properly with a password manager. Multi-factor authentication may require a code to be remembered and manually retyped. The course may be buried inside a Learning Management System (LMS) dashboard that is difficult to navigate without a mouse. It may launch in an unannounced pop-up, link to a scanned PDF or lose the learner’s progress when a session times out.

The course may be accessible. The experience is not.

This article is not another introduction to alt text, captions or colour contrast. Those things remain essential, and we have explored many of them in our earlier article on accessibility considerations in elearning design.

Instead, this article looks at the wider experience: how a learner receives, finds, launches, completes and receives evidence of learning—and where accessibility barriers can appear between each of those steps.

Already have AML/CTF training? What to update after the 1 July 2026 changes

The 1 July 2026 changes are now live for newly regulated sectors, including legal, accounting, real estate, conveyancing, precious metals and stones, and certain virtual asset services. For existing reporting entities, a number of reforms commenced earlier, on 31 March 2026, with transitional rules applying in some areas.

At Lucid, we’ve seen many organisations prepare for these changes by updating their existing AML/CTF courses rather than rebuilding them from scratch. Some have added new scenarios. Some have updated assessment questions. Others have refreshed facilitator guides, job aids, LMS records or role-specific modules.

But not every organisation has completed that work yet.

If your AML/CTF course was built before the reforms, it may still be mostly right. But there may now be gaps. It may refer to old processes, old terminology, old customer due diligence steps, or examples that no longer reflect the current regulatory environment.

This article is not an introduction to AML/CTF…. It’s an informal guide for organisations that already have training in place and now need to review what should be amended, added or refreshed following the July 2026 changes.
