GDPR Awareness Training Course

Overview

Any organisation that handles personal data of UK citizens or residents needs to make sure that they understand the UK General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, and comply with it. Failure to do so can lead to fines which, in the case of a data breach, can reach a maximum of £17.5 million or 4% of a business’ annual turnover, whichever is greater.

To ensure UK GDPR compliance, you must understand a range of topics, including the purpose of the General Data Protection Regulation, what the regulation considers as 'personal data' and the 7 principles of GDPR.

This GDPR Awareness training course will help individuals and organisations to understand these things, allowing them to meet their legal obligations and avoid the penalties that come with non-compliance. It will provide candidates with an awareness of the requirements of the UK General Data Protection Regulations and the privacy rights of individuals outlined in the UK GDPR.

After completing this course, candidates will:

• Understand the aim and scope of the UK General Data Protection Regulation and UK data protection law.
• Be aware of the penalties for breaching the UK GDPR and the public authorities that enforce them.
• Be aware of the need for UK GDPR compliance.
• Understand the data privacy rights under the UK GDPR.
• Understand the data protection principles.
• Be aware of what is required under the UK GDPR.

Duration

It takes approximately 1 hour to complete the course in full. This can be spread out over multiple sessions or completed in a single session. There is no time limit for completion.

Assessment

All candidates must complete a multiple choice assessment after working through the training material. The candidate will be asked 12 multiple choice questions, randomly chosen from a larger question pool, and need to answer a minimum of 9 correctly to pass. Candidates will be given instant feedback after completing the assessment stating whether they have passed or failed. The assessment can be re-taken as many times as is required to pass at no additional cost.

Module Summary

Successful candidates will receive a CPD Certificate and 1 CPD Credit.

This course certificate has no expiry date because there is no formally recognised period of validity for this type of course. The HSE recommends refresher training is carried out whenever it is felt necessary. Safety registration bodies such as CHAS, SafeContractor, ConstructionLine & SMAS and other members of the SSiP scheme recommend most re-training is done every 3 years. We would recommend refreshing knowledge as and when legislation or guidance changes applicable to these regulations.
