DATA PROTECTION TRAINING COURSE (GDPR)

This course is aimed at helping those involved in handling people’s information as part of their day-to-day role to better protect that data. This course will provide a Data Protection (UK GDPR) overview for those looking to gain more information on how to uphold the seven principles. With this course learners will understand the key principles and process under the regulation and what their roles and responsibilities include. Data protection compliance is a key priority for businesses, as there is a risk of large financial penalties for failing to introduce a culture of greater data transparency. Legislation, such as the Data Use and Access (DUA) Act 2025 and UK GDPR, has given consumers more power than ever before over their data. They now have the right to know how their data is used and stored, and for how long. They also have the right to be deleted from marketing databases, and businesses that fail to comply with any of these requests could find themselves facing a fine of up to £17.5 million, or 4% of total global annual turnover, depending on which is greater. It is vital that everyone who handles data as part of their job is aware of the current legislation, and this is exactly what the Essentials of Data Protection e-learning course is designed to help with.
