GDPR Training

What happens when someone emails a customer list to the wrong address? UK GDPR is the law covering how organisations collect and handle personal data. Sending it to the wrong person is a reportable breach. The ICO wants to know within 72 hours. Our GDPR training covers the rules and exactly what you do next. 

Our course walks you through the UK GDPR framework from the ground up. You'll cover the seven principles, lawful bases for processing, subject access requests and what the supervisory authorities expect when they come asking. Lessons are clear and simple. So you can follow along even if English is your second language. After finishing, you can handle data protection duties at work or move toward a Data Protection Officer role.

Our GDPR training online fits around your working week. It includes:

• Fully online
• Instant certification
• Simple lessons
• Free retakes
• Study around work
• Lifetime access
• Expert-made
• Covers UK GDPR

Every UK organisation handling personal data needs someone who knows the rules. Make that you.

What You Will Learn in The GDPR Training

By the end of our course, you'll handle personal data the way UK law expects. You'll learn to:

• Apply the seven principles of UK GDPR at work.
• Identify a lawful basis before processing any personal data.
• Handle subject access requests within the legal deadline.
• Report breaches to the ICO within 72 hours.
• Run a data protection impact assessment properly.
• Work with supervisory authorities during an investigation.
• Recognise special category data and treat it correctly.
• Build GDPR awareness training habits into everyday office routines.

Rules for Renewal

Your GDPR certificate has no expiry date and lasts a lifetime. But data protection law keeps moving and ICO guidance updates regularly, so a policy written three years ago may already be out of date. Most UK employers refresh this training every year.

Why Is This Course Important?

The ICO can fine a UK business as much as £17.5 million or 4% of global turnover. Most breaches trace back to staff who never had proper training. Our GDPR online course covers the rules people break day to day. It shows you can:

• Follow UK GDPR rules on every piece of personal data.
• Handle subject access requests without missing deadlines.
• Report a breach to the ICO the right way.
• Explain data protection duties to your team.

So UK councils, NHS trusts, law firms and marketing agencies all need staff who understand data protection. That's why this GDPR course opens doors in compliance, HR, IT and legal teams.

Who Is This Online GDPR Training For?

Most people on this course fall into one of four groups.

• IT and HR staff who handle personal data every day.
• Business owners worried about a first ICO inspection.
• Anyone moving into compliance work.
• You've been handed data protection duties and nobody explained them.

How We Test You

You must successfully solve 60% of the questions to move to the next part. If you do not pass the first time, do not worry. You can retake the quiz as many times as you need without extra cost.
