Yes: The Knowledge Academy currently offers a variety of training courses on the new EU General Data Protection Regulation (or GDPR) with which the Data Protection Act 2018 is designed to integrate.
The Data Protection Act 2018 does not replace GDPR. It came into effect on the 25th of May 2018, alongside the GDPR. The DPA is designed to be specific to the UK, as opposed to the wider-reaching scope of the GDPR, and contains some of the finer details of how GDPR will be implemented in the UK. Among these are an increase in the powers of the Information Commissioner’s Office, stipulations for the processing of data belonging to immigrants, and rules for law enforcement processing (as covered in this course).
Our friendly support team will be available by both phone and email to answer your questions or help address any concerns you may have, before, during, and after the course. Additionally, your trainer will be happy to take questions and explain concepts as needed to ensure your full comprehension of the material covered.
