IAPP Certified Information Privacy Professional® & Certified Information Privacy Manager® (CIPP/E® and CIPM® combined course)

What you'll learn
On this 4-day course, you'll be certified in the global gold standard for European Data Protection - known as the Certified Information Privacy Professional/Europe (CIPP/E). Additionally, you'll become a Certified Information Privacy Manager (CIPM) - the world's first and only privacy programme management certification.


The CIPP/E programme, developed by the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP), will grow your understanding of pan-European and national data protection laws. This official CIPP/E training will teach you key data protection terminology and important concepts concerning the protection of personal data and trans-border data flows.
Earning the CIPM demonstrates you have the knowledge to make a privacy programme work for your organisation - you'll be the first point of contact for all things data protection related. Both the CIPP/E and CIPM certifications are ISO/IAS accredited under 17024:2012.
With the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in effect as of May 2018, it's imperative you have a knowledgeable Data Protection Officer (DPO) capable of monitoring compliance, managing internal data protection activities, training data staff and more. Achieving the CIPP/E and CIPM validates this knowledge and guarantees a wealth of understanding of GDPR.

We are official partners with leading vendors and therefore, we're provided with certification changes and updates, which we can then implement in our course delivery at a very early stage. This feedback is then analysed in view of changes or discrepancies. We will then address the topics mentioned and have a panel of subject matter experts provide us with valuable suggestions for improvement and solutions.
