Awareness of the importance of DPA training grows
/EINPresswire.com/ IT Governance Ltd, the global leader in DPA Compliance information, standards, books, tools and training, has reported that there is a growing interest in its DPA Foundation course, following the big number of data breaches in the last few months. However, a few spaces are still available for the next planned running of the DPA Foundation course on 9th September (www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/2957).
One of the key aspects to be considered when ensuring that organisations meet the requirements of the Data Protection Act (DPA), is whether their staff are aware of the DPA principles and if they can apply them in practice. Staff training is an essential measure against data breaches for every organisation that handles personal data. Failure to meet the DPA requirements can result in fines as high as £500,000.
The one-day DPA Foundation course from IT Governance (www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/2957) combines a mixture of theory and group workshop sessions to examine the DPA legislation. It also explores methods of complying with the DPA whilst supporting business objectives. Delegates who take the course will be able to review and understand the current processes of handling personal data, and ensure that these processes are in line with the latest Data Protection Act compliance requirements. The workshop discussions and planned exercises during the course will help delegates to apply what they have learnt in their own work environment.
Alan Calder, CEO of IT Governance, says, " This course enables delegates to get to grips with the key concepts, obligations and rights granted by data protection law, including the latest revisions to UK data protection legislation. From the Information Assurance Managers, the Data Protection Governance Managers, the Business Managers through to HR professionals and IT staff, everyone will benefit immensely from the course. Most of all, staff who have been on the course will add value to their organisation and its customers, providing a certain level of reassurance that personal data is responsibly taken care of."
Organisations can book delegates onto the DPA Foundation course online here: www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/2957. Course places can also be booked directly with the friendly, helpful IT Governance service centre team on telephone number +44 (0)845 070 1750. Larger organisations can make bookings or purchases with a purchase order, either by telephone or by e-mail, to servicecentre@itgovernance.co.uk. We also welcome overseas delegates on all our courses and can provide guidance on travel and hotel arrangements.
