Changes are possible. The course content is updated regularly.

After this course, you will be prepared for the tasks of a data protection officer. You will have the necessary knowledge based on the current EU GDPR for legally compliant handling of personal data, knowledge in the area of data protection organization and IT security.

You will also be prepared for your duties as a compliance officer. You know the basics of company law and can thus minimize liability risks. You will also be familiar with the requirements of a compliance management system.

This course is aimed at specialists and managers who are responsible for data processing, e.g. employees from human resources, administration, quality management or the legal department.

The compliance officer's area of responsibility is growing all the time. Companies in the banking and financial services, insurance and service industries are therefore increasingly reliant on their services. Compliance officers are also increasingly sought after in public administrations, associations and some organizations and corporations.

Persons with additional qualifications as data protection officers act as a link between management, the works council, supervisory authorities and employees.

Didactic concept

Your lecturers are highly qualified both professionally and didactically and will teach you from the first to the last day (no self-study system).

You will learn in effective small groups. The courses usually consist of 6 to 25 participants. The general lessons are supplemented by numerous practical exercises in all course modules. The practice phase is an important part of the course, as it is during this time that you process what you have just learned and gain confidence and routine in its application. The final section of the course involves a project, a case study or a final exam.
