About this event

BCS Practitioner Certificate in Data Protection

An advanced level BCS certificate for Data Protection Officers & compliance professionals with processing operations based in the UK.

The practitioner certificate is the leading industry qualification for individuals with data protection responsibilities.

Course Overview

The BCS Practitioner Certificate in Data Protection confirms the ability of award holders to fulfil the mandatory appointed role of a Data Protection Officer (DPO) or to lead GDPR compliance within their organisation, department or group.

This BCS accredited GDPR training course requires participants to develop a deep understanding of both UK and EU data protection laws and how to apply them in a workplace environment. Rather than focus on the rigid mechanics of regulation, the course places privacy in the context of human rights and promotes good practice within organisations.

The course concentrates on the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) with its 10 chapters, 99 articles, and 173 recitals. It examines the complexity of the interactions between the GDPR and the UK Data Protection Act 2018, including its derogations and exemptions, along with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

Training during the COVID-19 pandemic

This accredited course, which is traditionally taught in a classroom setting over 5-days, is now provided safely across a secure WebEx platform with all the support and interactivity found in the classroom.

Delegates can gain a recognised practitioner level workplace qualification at home or from their desk by attending ten x 3.5 hour live online sessions across two-weeks. Participants will also receive a separate 1-day online revision course to help prepare for the BCS Practitioner Certificate in Data Protection Exam. Both courses follow the latest BCS Syllabus (v9.0) and prepare participants for the 90-minute multiple-choice BCS Practioner Exam, which is taken separately and is also now available online.
