Course Description

Course Description

Safeguard personal data with confidence. This module covers the essentials of the Data Protection Act 2018 and GDPR, empowering you with the knowledge to comply with key data protection regulations.

This is part of the GDPR Core Training (for Staff) course.

 

Target Audience

This data protection training course is intended for all staff in any organisation which handles (or processes) personal data in an operational capacity.

Certainly anyone previously concerned with customer personal data under the DPA can benefit from this course; but the increased importance of personal data under the new GDPR legislation will mean that this course is even more widely applicable.

It’s an excellent grounding in how the GDPR affects day-to-day users of personal data in any company, government or charity context.
