Certified EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) Foundation FAQs

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force on May 25th 2018 in European law - it replaces the previous EU Directive 95/46/EC. The GDPR ensures that data protection practices are up-to-date, secure, and responsive to the ever-changing digital landscape, whilst giving EU citizens new data processing rights.
The GDPR came into effect May 25th 2018 across the European Union. Businesses that store, monitor, and process data belonging to EU citizens must now ensure that they are compliant or face substantial fines. As the GDPR is now legally enforceable, the longer any organisation waits to become compliant, the harsher any potential fines for breaking the law could be.
The course fee covers tuition from a highly engaging GDPR trainer, a comprehensive candidate pack including a range of GDPR resources to help your learning, the Foundation level courseware, guidance on the legal constituents of GDPR, and mock examinations.
