Course Overview
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) sets a high standard for how organisations collect, process, and protect personal data. This course provides a clear, practical understanding of GDPR principles and how they translate into operational responsibilities across teams.
Through mentor-led sessions, learners explore lawful processing, individual rights, accountability, and governance expectations. The programme focuses on applying GDPR requirements in day-to-day scenarios, ensuring teams can confidently manage data while reducing compliance risk.
Participants engage in practical scenarios such as responding to data subject requests, supporting audits, and managing breaches. By the end of the course, learners will be equipped to contribute to GDPR compliance efforts and support a culture of responsible data protection.
