How often should GDPR training be repeated?
The GDPR does not set a single frequency. However, the controller must ensure that people processing data know the data protection rules – so it is worth training employees when they are hired, repeating it periodically and whenever procedures change.
Can GDPR training be done online?
Yes – we run it in person or online, on a remote platform, with the same programme.
Will I get a certificate after online training?
Yes – every Participant receives a personal certificate of completion.
How long is the GDPR training?
4 training hours.
Can the training be adapted to our organisation?
Yes – we discuss examples relevant to the organisation, and the training can be based on your procedures.
