DPA training ensures organisations comply with the Data Protection Act

/EINPresswire.com/ IT Governance Ltd, the global leader in DPA training, information, books and tools, has announced that its DPA Foundation course is regarded by delegates as 'extremely interesting' and 'enjoyable' whilst helping them understand and meet the DPA requirements (www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/2957). Delegates who book onto the next sitting in December will receive a free single user DPA e-learning license. This e-learning course is a fantastic way of delivering DPA training to staff in a non technical way (www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/3392).

Data Protection and DPA compliance has become a critical issue in the UK following the large volume of data breaches over the past few months, in both the public and private sectors. This has been raised so far up the public agenda that the Information Commissioner (the UK's regulatory body for the DPA) has now been granted extra powers and sanctions - including the power to levy fines of up to £500k.

The interactive DPA Foundation course (www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/2957) gives both new and experienced staff and management - those involved with or responsible for personal data - an oversight of what the Data Protection Act means to their business and also to their own rights as an individual. It combines a mixture of theory and group workshop sessions to examine the legislation and requirements on organisations handling personal data, exploring methods of compliance with the DPA whilst supporting business objectives.

Delegates who take the DPA Foundation course (www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/2957) 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.

One delegate described the course like that "Brought data protection act to life - engaging tutor ". Another attendee commented, "Excellent and enjoyable day, made subject very interesting."
