According to Adedolapo Evelyn Adegoroye (Training Lead, Tech Hive Advisory), “By extending our coverage to the rest of Africa, our training team  would progressively narrow the knowledge and talent gap within the data protection  field on the continent, opening doors to a world of knowledge and opportunity for learners across the region.” This sentiment encapsulates the heart of our mission, inspiring us to continue pushing boundaries and creating world-class talents across variegated sectors.

Widening our Course Coverage: CIPT and Foundation of  Privacy and  Data Protection Course

In addition to our existing Certified Information Privacy Professional/Europe (CIPP/E) and Certified Information Privacy Manager (CIPM) courses, we are thrilled to unveil our latest offerings: the Certified Information Privacy Technologist (CIPT) and Foundation of  Privacy and  Data Protection.
