Data Protection Officer (DPO) Certification Training

This 6-day training course thoroughly prepares you for the role of Data Protection Officer (DPO).

You’ll gain a clear overview of data protection legislation (GDPR).

We cover practical topics such as purpose limitation, data subjects’ rights, data processing agreements, lawfulness, cryptography, security policies, and real-world case studies from various business processes.

The first 2 days of this training course are a deep dive into the legal framework. Not a lawyer? No problem—we’ll prepare you with our introductory videos and explain everything clearly, step by step.

The following days focus on practical application. After the exam, on day 6, we’ll explore the latest trends and insights in data protection.
