Included services

The displayed price covers the complete programme: five training days, digital materials, one initial theory examination attempt, twelve monthly practical assignments with structured feedback, required revision and reassessment, the final portfolio, one initial 45-minute defence and certificate issuance after all requirements have been met.

Assignments cover roles and data mapping, processing records, legal bases and transparency, processors, safeguards and deletion, DPIA, transfer impact assessment, individual rights, incidents, awareness, audits, reviews and the final project as specified in the curriculum. Practice takes place alongside work in a suitable organisation or an agreed case setting. Support and workload are agreed individually before the programme begins.

The classroom option concerns the five theory days, including refreshments and professional exchange. Subsequent practice support follows the individual plan, particularly online. Accommodation is excluded. The supervised practice programme does not constitute employment or a promise of payment.

At least 70% overall and 60% in every compulsory part are required. Every practical submission and critical criterion must meet the published minimum. The final certificate is issued only after all requirements have been fulfilled.
