EU GDPR Data Protection Officer Role Training Course

This beginner-friendly course teaches you how to become a fully capable DPO under the EU GDPR. With 13 modules of pre-recorded video lessons, real documentation, and practical activities, you’ll learn how to monitor compliance, advise on obligations, and serve as a liaison with supervisory authorities. Upon completion, you can sit for an optional certification exam and earn proof of your DPO qualification.

You’ll explore GDPR from every angle: principles, rights, data processing, consent, breach management, privacy governance, and vendor oversight. The course also walks you through building a privacy program from scratch - identifying stakeholders, setting up governance, and monitoring compliance. You’ll gain the tools and templates needed for real-world execution.

Key outcomes include:

• Draft and manage a personal data protection policy using clear and plain language to ensure compliance across EU member states and international organizations.
• Conduct DPIAs and risk assessments to address core activities and demonstrate compliance with national law and the GDPR.
• Respond to DSARs, maintain records of processing, and manage third-party agreements, including data transfers to third countries using standard contractual clauses.
• Build and lead a privacy governance program aligned with supervisory authorities' expectations and internal compliance requirements.

With expert advice and structured training, you’ll be ready to oversee processing activities and support GDPR compliance in a timely manner. This course empowers you to protect the fundamental rights of natural persons, address issues related to large-scale data use (including special categories like criminal offences), and ensure alignment with guidance from the European Commission.

You'll be prepared to work with public bodies, uphold the principles of free movement, and lead data protection efforts with confidence across any organization.
