E-Learning Course Content:
This interactive e-learning course focuses on the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), one of the world’s most comprehensive data protection frameworks. The EU GDPR regulates how personal data is collected, processed, stored, and transferred within the European Union and beyond, with a strong emphasis on protecting individual rights.
Tailored for managers, this course explains how the regulation applies in a supervisory context. It equips leaders with the knowledge and tools to oversee data protection compliance, manage risk, support staff effectively, and ensure their teams follow lawful and ethical data practices.
The e-learning can be provided as SCORM files, or on a subscription basis, whether hosted on your own Learning Management System, or using our, feature-rich, easy-to-use learning platform.
