Overview
On this accelerated 2-day CIPP/E course, you'll be certified in the global gold standard for European Data Protection - known as the Information Privacy Professional/Europe (CIPP/E).
The CIPP/E programme (also known as the CIPP certification), developed by the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP), will grow your understanding of pan-European and national data protection laws. This official CIPP/E training will teach you key data protection terminology and important concepts concerning the protection of personal data and trans-border data flows.
With the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in effect as of May 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 CIPP/E validates this knowledge and guarantees a wealth of understanding of GDPR.
This course is aimed at:
- Data Protection Officers and Lawyers
- Records Managers
- Information and Compliance Officers
- Human Resource Officers
- Auditors
- Security Managers
- Information Managers
- Anyone involved with data protection processes and programmes
On this course, you'll be prepared for and sit the IAPP Certified Privacy Professional - Europe (CIPP/E) exam, which is covered by your Certification Guarantee.
This course is also ISO/IAS accredited, with the certification holding accreditation under ISO 17024:2012.
Alternatively, save hundreds by combining both the CIPP/E and CIPM courses on the accelerated Certified Information Privacy Professional - Europe & Certified Information Privacy Manager course.
