Description

The GDPR Foundation training course outline

The EU GDPR has been in place for over a year and there is still a lack of preparedness for businesses in complying with the GDPR. According to GDPR+1 Year: Business Struggles with Data Privacy Regulations Increasing 79% of organisations are failing to meet the GDPR requirements.

This means businesses are leaving themselves open to face potential fines of up to 4% of annual turnover or €20 million – whichever is greater. Training all staff in GDPR not only reduces the risk of a data breach it can also be used as evidence that appropriates steps have been put in place to prevent a breach. Article 39 of the GDPR outlines the need for training and staff awareness. All members of a compliance and risk team should at a minimum have foundation knowledge of GDPR and all staff will need e-learning.

The one-day Certified EU General Data Protection Regulation Foundation (GDPR) Training Course provides a comprehensive overview of the EU GDPR, and a practical understanding of the implications and legal requirements for organisations of any size. The course is a stepping stone to the Certified EU GDPR Practitioner course.

1. Althea on 27/01/2020, said:

I attended the classroom-based course, 20th Jan 2020. The course was well lead and presented by a very passionate trainer. The delivery was fast-paced and concise, covering a large amount of practical information enabling me to pass the assessment. Anyone new to GDPR, I’d highly recommend reading the pre-course material. I recommend this course to anyone wanting to pursue a career in GDPR.

2. COLIN on 10/01/2019, said:

On-line course was interesting, informative and modules well covered and clearly explained. Documentation provided was of same quality, online tools and exam prep where spot on. Exam - all covered in the materials, few tricky questions! Overall, a very good way to learn more about GDPR. Practitioner course next!

3. IT Governance Customer on 04/12/2018, said:

Ceren, Executive Assistant attended this course in September, 2018: Our trainer was very helpful and listened to our individual scenarios and helped to guide us in the direction and where to turn to with further questions. It was a very good session and I feel confident in the foundation course.

4. Emma on 11/09/2018, said:

Really good trainer! He kept us all engaged, made it interesting and we enjoyed it. Only thing that I would change was the length of the class. I think it would have been more beneficial to hold over two days as a lot to take in and I would have liked to have asked more questions. Other than that, really good and would recommend if looking to understand the basics or start a path into being a DPO

5. Bob Milne on 29/03/2018, said:

Of all the courses that I have attended throughout the years, David is the most efficient trainer I have come across. His presentation skills, knowledge of the subject and his enthusiasm contributed to making this particular course a joy to attend.

6. Gordon on 20/11/2017, said:

Course Content 5 out of 5. Course Instructor 6 out of 5. Pre Course instructions 5 out of 5.

7. Mark on 17/07/2017, said:

Very good overview of the subject but a lot to take in for one day to pass the Foundation. I do feel far more informed now though and that is helping my team understand the challenge and also helps me working on our GDPR programme.

8. Michael on 11/11/2016, said:

I can recommend this training and certification without reservation. I have had an enormous professional benefit of taking the GDPR-F and GDPR- P training and certifications.

9. Ian on 24/08/2016, said:

This was a great course and the Instructor knew the material.
