About This Course
General Data Protection Regulation explores the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that came into force in May 2018 to replace the existing EU Data Protection Directive framework. With new regulation came a big change in how personal data is processed by businesses and services across the globe. That’s why this online course has been created: to guide you through the GDPR and how it affects your business. General Data Protection Regulation teaches you how to comply with the new GDPR so that you’re on top of your data security game.

Who is this course for?

This online course is relevant to everyone as we’re all affected by GDPR in some way. However, it provides essential learning for companies and businesses that deal with people’s information regularly. General Data Protection Regulation is a fantastic introductory course for people that are new to data protection and is an ideal refresher for employers. General Data Protection Regulation is also useful to people who are familiar with the old EU data framework that have yet to become familiar with the 2018 regulation.

What will you get from this course?

From an individual’s rights to subject access requests, General Data Protection Regulation covers the essentials of GDPR so that you know exactly how you and your business fit within the law and can be compliant with it.

The best boost for anyone

thoroughly enjoyed this course. There was no rush and I could take it at my own time. I am visually impaired and this has boosted my confidence immensely. I had no trouble with any of the modules. Mostly it was my not reading the question properly, so that is why I made the mistake I did. Thank you for the chance to prove myself as a person in my own right. When people know you have a disabilit...

Professional and helpful - 100% would use again!

I took the online Level 3 Dog Grooming course with the final exam at the end. I know it is just an online course with no practical skills required but this is the next best thing! It provided me with amazing resources and informative modules of different areas. I found this course very good and would definitely recommend it!

Excellent course and feedback

I have just completed a Reflexology Diploma Course and also took the exam on completion. The course itself was excellent and in particular I liked the test at the end of each lesson. It refreshes your memory of what you have been studying. The Anatomy and Physiology was the hardest part of the course but with plenty of studying it is achievable. The final exam which you pay for if you want to t...
