Our GDPR online course provides a clear and practical introduction to GDPR and data protection. The course explains the purpose and scope of the GDPR principles, how the regulations protect personal data, and the responsibilities of organisations and individuals when handling personal information.
This online GDPR course covers key data protection principles, the rights of data subjects, and how GDPR applies in the workplace. Designed as an accessible introduction to the subject, it is ideal for employees who need to understand their responsibilities and organisations looking to provide effective data protection training.
Our GDPR training course incorporates guidance from the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and provides practical, up-to-date knowledge that learners can apply in their day-to-day work.
We have helped hundreds of organisations across sectors including education, finance, construction, retail, technology and marketing deliver effective online compliance training. Whether you’re new to GDPR or need to refresh your knowledge, this course provides a practical foundation in data protection.
The approximate course duration is 1 to 2 hours and the training can be completed online at your own pace.
The importance of GDPR and Data Protection
GDPR sets out how organisations must collect, use, store and protect personal data. It gives individuals greater control over their personal information and requires organisations to be transparent about how and why that information is processed.
Organisations are responsible for ensuring personal data is handled lawfully, fairly and securely. This includes collecting only the data that is needed, keeping it accurate and up to date, protecting it from unauthorised access, and retaining it only for as long as necessary. Failing to meet data protection requirements can lead to regulatory action, financial penalties and reputational damage.
Please note: If you require more in-depth GDPR and data protection training, our Advanced GDPR Course includes all the content covered in this course, plus additional topics for those with greater data protection responsibilities.
Who is this Online GDPR Course for?
Almost every organisation handles personal data, making an understanding of GDPR and data protection essential for employees who collect, use, store or manage personal information.
This online GDPR course is suitable for employees who need a practical understanding of data protection regulations, their responsibilities under GDPR, and how personal data should be handled securely and appropriately.
The course provides essential data protection training for employees whose roles do not routinely involve access to special category personal data. For those with greater data protection responsibilities, our Advanced GDPR training course may be more appropriate.
