Course Objectives
The objective of the course is to understand that one of the biggest risk factors when it comes to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the behaviour of everyone in your organisation. When it comes to protecting data, your organisation is only as strong as its weakest link. As such, one of the best strategies is education. With Make Me A Plan’s GDPR course, you can be confident that everyone in your organisation understands how to comply with the regulations and protect your customers and your reputation.
Duration
We would estimate this course takes 3 - 5 hours, with each module taking around 35 minutes. We would highly recommend also allowing some time after each module to identify ways to apply the knowledge to your own situation, as this is a great way to get a deeper understanding of the information we have provided.
