Course structure:

The overall programme is divided into four parts: 1) basic module , 2) advanced module, and 3) optional certification workshop 4) the final test. The course duration is 5 days (4 days training + 1 day optional workshop in the morning and exam in the afternoon) in order to leave enough time for role-play and group exercises and discussions.

In case you wish to obtain the ‘EIPA professional certification in Data Protection’, you will have to pass a final test, scheduled in the afternoon session of the last day. The examination consists of a multiple-choice test, covering the subject matters dealt with in the plenary sessions in both modules – basic and advanced – followed by open questions.

To pass the exam you are strongly advised to study the materials that will be provided to you before and during the seminar.
You will receive a certificate of attendance at the end of the course. Attendance in both modules is in principle required if you want to take part in the certification exam. In case you can demonstrate a proven working experience in the field of Data Protection, you can proceed straight to the Advanced Module.[1]. See our Certification Policy.

[1] Appointed DPOs of the EU institutions, agencies and bodies with more than two years of seniority in post are allowed to proceed straight to the advanced module, taking into account also other elements such as attendance to the EDPS training or any other relevant data protection training by EIPA or other institutions, as well as to the meetings of the network of the DPOs.
