IAPP Certified Information Privacy Manager® (CIPM®)

On this 2-day accelerated course, you'll develop the skills to become a Certified Information Privacy Manager (CIPM) - the world's first and only privacy programme management certification.

Earning the CIPM demonstrates you have the knowledge to make a privacy programme work for your organisation - you'll be the first point of contact for all things data protection related. This certification also holds accreditation under ISO 17024:2012.

With the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) taking effect in 2018, it's imperative you have a knowledgeable Data Protection Officer (DPO) capable of monitoring compliance, managing internal data protection activities, training data staff and more. Achieving the CIPM validates this knowledge and guarantees a wealth of understanding of the GDPR.

On this course, you'll be prepared for and sit the IAPP Certified Information Privacy Manager (CIPM) exam, which is covered by your Certification Guarantee.
