Move from understanding data-protection requirements to confidently implementing, documenting, defending and leading a functional privacy programme — through five executive Saturdays, weekly practice labs, a dedicated assessment week, an exam masterclass, and mentoring that continues after certification.
No suspending work. Each executive Saturday combines instruction, workshops, live demonstrations and case studies — with optional Tuesday-evening labs to consolidate as you go.
