Certified Data Protection COURSE OVERVIEW:

Description 

Knowledge of UK data protection law, and an understanding of how it is applied in practice, is important for any organisation holding personal data. The BCS Practitioner Certificate in Data Protection 2017 is designed for those with some data protection responsibilities in an organisation or who, for other reasons, wish to achieve and demonstrate a broad understanding of the law, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK Data Protection Act 2018 and their practical application. It is recognised that those with overall responsibility for data protection within an organisation will need to develop a detailed understanding of the law, including those provisions which are not covered in the syllabus

Objectives

The BCS Practitioner Certificate in Data Protection 2017 is intended to promote an understanding of the practical application of UK data protection law, including placing it in a human rights context. By obtaining the certificate, candidates will:

• Hold a recognised qualification in data protection
• Gain an understanding of the key changes and the associated implications that the GDPR and the UK Data Protection Act 2018 introduce to data protection
• Gain an understanding of individual and organisational responsibilities under the GDPR and the new UK Data Protection Act, particularly the need for effective record keeping
• Be able to apply the new rights available to data subjects and understand the implications of those rights
• Be able to demonstrate an understanding of the designation, position and role/ tasks of a data protection officer
• Be able to prepare organisations to manage and handle personal data in compliance with the GDPR and the UK Data Protection Act 2018.

Target Audience

This qualification is aimed at those candidates who have, or wish to have, some responsibility for data protection within an organisation and need to understand the changes that the GDPR and the UK Data Protection Act 2018 bring to data protection legislation, including what needs to be done to prepare their organisations for compliance. The certificate will also be useful for others who wish to obtain and demonstrate a broad understanding and application of the UK’s data protection regime. It is ideal for those candidates who already hold the Foundation Certification in Data Protection and who want to gain a more in-depth knowledge of interpreting and applying the principles of data protection legislation and the GDPR in particular.
