IAPP Certified Information Privacy Professional — Europe® (CIPP/E®)

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.
