Online - EU GDPR Practitioner Certificate

The leading qualification for European Data Protection Officers.

The EU GDPR requires many Data Controllers and Processors to appoint a Data Protection Officer. The DPO plays a vital role in implementing the EU GDPR and in fostering a data protection culture within an organisation. The European Data Protection Board states that the DPO should have all the relevant skills and experience including an in-depth understanding of national and European data protection laws and practices.

The EU GDPR Practitioner Certificate course is specially designed for DPOs and privacy practitioners whose role involves advising on the EU GDPR and associated privacy legislation. The content of the course has been developed after analysing all the knowledge, practical skills and competencies required for the EU DPO to enable them to successfully navigate the European data protection landscape.

This course builds on Act Now’s very successful UK GDPR Practitioner certificate course which has been attended by hundreds of DPOs throughout the UK and abroad since its launch in 2017. Our teaching style is based on practical and engaging workshops covering theory alongside hands-on application using case studies that equip delegates with knowledge and skills that can be used immediately. Personal tutor support throughout the course will ensure the best opportunity for success. Delegates will also receive a comprehensive set of course materials, including our very popular EU GDPR Handbook (RRP £34.99), as well as access to our online Resource Lab, which includes over 20 hours of videos on key aspects of the syllabus.

Holding the EU GDPR Practitioner Certificate from Act Now Training will demonstrate to employers that you have acquired the relevant knowledge and skills to manage and advise upon privacy compliance effectively within your organisation. Act Now Training has become a leading provider of information governance training relied upon by thousands of organisations around the world.

This is a four day online course (one day per week). Key topics of the syllabus are set out below. All these will be taught in the context of the latest guidance from the European Data Protection Board and key enforcement action from the main Data Protection Supervisory Authorities across Europe.
