Accredited training course (EXIN) & 2 certification exams (5 Days)
With the ever-increasing explosion of information flooding the internet, every company needs to plan how to manage and protect privacy of persons and their data. Not without a reason, many new laws – in the EU as well as in the USA and many other regions – are being formed to regulate both.
This intensive and practical five-day course is based on the subjects preparing the participants for the PDP Foundation and PDP Practitioner certification exams. The first two days allow trainees to understand the fundamental concepts of Protection of Privacy and Personal Data while the last three days, more practical, focus on the development and implementation of policies and procedures in order to comply with existing and new legislation, the application of directives and best practices in the form of a Personal Information Protection Management system.
On the second day, candidates will pass the EXIN Privacy & Data Protection Foundation certification and, on the last day, the official EXIN Privacy & Data Protection Practitioner exam.
Audience
The certification Privacy & Data Protection Bootcamp (EXIN) will be particularly useful to:
- Data Protection Officers (DPOs),
