About our GDPR Essentials Course

The General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) comes into effect in May 2018. With greater responsibilities on data controllers and processors, strengthened rights of the data subject, and new sanctions for non-compliance, almost every organisation will need to evaluate and adapt their current Data Protection regime.

This course is intended to introduce the fundamentals of the GDPR. The comprehensive structured approach to training provides practical, in-depth understanding of the scope, core concepts, principles and requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation.

What you will learn

Topics of discussion will include:

  • An overview of the GDPR
  • Exploration of the core principles of the GDPR
  • Legal grounds for processing
  • Expanded rights and obligations
  • Risk and governance principles in the GDPR
  • Responsibilities of DPOs
  • Cross-border data transfers
  • The Accountability principle

Certification

This course is externally accredited by the Institute of Commercial Management (ICM). Attendees will receive an ICM Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Certificate upon successful completion of the course, including a single assessment following the taught aspect of the course.
