BCS Foundation Certificate in Data Protection

BCS Foundation Certificate in Data Protection

An entry-level BCS certificate for everyone who handles personal information in the workplace.

Course Overview

The BCS Foundation Certificate in Data Protection will benefit all members of staff who are processing the personal information of customers and service users, company employees, or any other partners and stakeholders as part of their daily role. Alongside these key personnel (privacy champions), the BCS Foundation is suitable for management roles and executives who are in some way responsible for business areas which routinely handle personal information. The Foundation Certificate is also the recognised entry point for compliance team members before advancing to the BCS Practitioner Certificate, and IAPP certified training.

Participants attending this BCS accredited GDPR training course will develop a practical understanding of EU and UK data protection laws and how to apply them in everyday workplace situations. The focus is on the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK Data Protection Act 2018, along with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

The course, which is traditionally taught in a classroom setting over 3-days, is now available online due to the environmental and sustainability benefits. Delegates can gain a recognised workplace data protection qualification whether they're working at their desk or from home by attending five x 3.5 hour live online sessions across one week. The course follows the latest BCS Syllabus (v3.6) and prepares participants for the 1-hour multiple-choice BCS Foundation Exam, which is administered separately via Questionmark through online remote proctoring.
