BCS Practitioner Certificate in Data Protection
BCS Practitioner Certificate in Data Protection
The BCS Practitioner Certificate in Data Protection is intended for those with some data protection obligations in an organization or who, for other purposes, wish to achieve and display a broad understanding of the law, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK Data Protection Act 2018 and their practical application.
Who is this exam for?
- Anyone who has some actual responsibility for data protection inside their organization.
- It’s also helpful for those who want to increase their basic understanding in this field and fully understand the practical relationships of data protection laws.
- Whilst this certificate is written to the UK Data Protection Act, many additional jurisdictions have passed broadly similar data protection laws, so international candidates may also find this useful.
Requirements
- It's perfect if the candidate holds the BCS Foundation Certificate in Data Protection, though this is not necessary.
- We strongly suggested that candidates attend an accredited training course and are fully accustomed to GDPR and the syllabus and any recommended reading outlined in the syllabus.
