IT Governance launches new series of Certified GDPR training courses in Dublin, Ireland

ELY, CAMBRIDGESHIRE, UNITED KINGDOM, October 14, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The leading expert in cyber security expertise and ISO 17024-accredited training courses, IT Governance, is pleased to announce the launch of its new series of Certified EU General Data Protection Regulation Foundation and Practitioner training courses in Dublin, Ireland.

Alan Calder, the founder and chief executive officer of IT Governance, said: “We’re pleased to help Dublin-based organisations train their staff to meet the requirements of the GDPR. Since the GDPR was approved in May, we have unceasingly responded to the growing demand for GDPR compliance support in Europe by providing the ISO 17024-accredited General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Foundation and Practitioner training courses in London, Cambridge, Manchester, Dublin, Edinburgh and the United States.”

The one-day Certified General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Foundation training course provides a basic understanding of the Regulation. The course covers the essential GDPR background and terminology, discusses changes in policies and procedures, data subjects’ rights and requesting access, marketing requirements, data protection impact assessments (DPIAs), requirements for reporting data breaches, international data transfers, and compliance with the GDPR.

“As the GDPR mandates considerably stricter penalties than the Data Protection Act for data breaches, organisations have no choice but to comply with the Regulation. Our Certified GDPR Foundation and Practitioner training courses can help organisations meet the GDPR’s requirements and train individuals to fulfil the role of data protection officer,” Alan Calder continued.

The Certified General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Practitioner training course, taking place over the course of four days, enables individuals to fulfil the role of data protection officer (DPO) under the GDPR. The course covers the GDPR in depth, its implementation requirements, the policies and processes required for compliance, and the elements of effective data security management.

The GDPR Foundation and Practitioner training courses are aimed at data protection and information security professionals, and individuals who lack the data protection expertise and experience but wish to get involved in GDPR compliance projects, achieve a qualification in data protection and fulfil the role of DPO.

IT Governance’s training courses support professional development: upon completing each of the GDPR training courses, delegates are required to sit a 60-minute IBITGQ-accredited exam. Delegates who pass the exam are awarded the GDPR Foundation (EU GDPR F) or GDPR Practitioner (EU GDPR P) qualifications, which proves that they have obtained a solid understanding of the Regulation.
