Who is it for?
- The complexity and volume of regulation underpinning compliance in data collection, use and management continues to be an area of focus in organisations. As well as a thorough understanding of the regulatory and legislative framework, professional practice in data protection requires judgements and decisions to be made for many scenarios.
- The primary motivation underpinning the Professional Certificate in Data Protection is to provide a learning opportunity for compliance professionals, and those managing personal data, to develop the necessary skills to ensure that their organisation meets their current and future data protection responsibilities.
- The programme has been designed in consultation with the office of the Data Protection Commissioner.
