Certified Data Protection Officer Training (CDPO)

The Certified Data Protection Officer training course will help you acquire the skills to fulfil the role of Data Protection Officer (DPO), allowing you to help organizations understand and implement solutions that meet the compliance requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), as well as a number of other regulatory requirements.

The course takes a practical look at the GDPR requirements and advises on the mapping of solutions. In this way, delegates can master the role of the DPO and become competent to inform, advise, and monitor compliance with the GDPR, as well as apply this knowledge in practical terms.

After attending the training course, delegates sit an exam, and gain the “Certified Data Protection Officer” credential, which validates that you have the Legal and regulatory knowledge required of a key adviser and practical knowledge to advise organisations how to meet their obligations regarding GDPR compliance.
