IAPP Certifications

Why train and acquire an IAPP Certification?

It is a prerequisite of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) that organizations appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO). The International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) has estimated that more than 75,000 DPOs will be required.

The training sessions are not solely ‘test prep’ courses; they are appropriate for professionals with plans of being certified and persons with intentions of deepening their data protection knowledge. The training and exams are based on the same body of knowledge.
