Expert Built GDPR Compliance Mastery
This CPD certified course teaches you how the UK General Data Protection Regulation works in practice, not just what the legislation says. You will learn how to identify lawful bases for processing, respond to data subject rights requests, manage consent properly, and build accountability into your day to day operations.
The course covers the complete GDPR framework: the six lawful bases for processing, individual rights including access, rectification, erasure and portability, data protection impact assessments, the role of the Data Protection Officer, international data transfers, and the accountability and governance obligations that organisations must demonstrate to the ICO.
Each lesson includes real world scenarios that show you how to handle the situations where compliance decisions are not straightforward and standard guidance leaves gaps.

Why We Built This Course
We created this GDPR course because most data protection training reads like a summary of the legislation. It tells you the rules but never shows you how to apply them when the situation gets complicated.
From 2006 to 2024, we ran screening businesses that processed thousands of sensitive personal records every year. We dealt with subject access requests that required careful redaction decisions, consent mechanisms that needed to work across multiple processing activities, and data retention questions where getting it wrong meant regulatory exposure. We know what GDPR compliance actually looks like when you are doing the work.
What Makes This Different
Every lesson comes from real data handling challenges we navigated personally, not summaries of ICO guidance. You will learn how to identify the correct lawful basis, respond to rights requests properly, and build processes that satisfy regulators. In 1 to 2 hours, you walk away CPD certified and confident you understand your obligations. Built by practitioners, not trainers.
This course gives you a clear and practical understanding of GDPR and how to protect personal data in the workplace. You will learn your responsibilities, how to process data lawfully and how to keep information safe, secure and compliant.
The final course summary and certificate section are the final information required to complete before being issued with your CPD Certified Certificate. In this section it explains what you have learned throughout the course and what you are now certified for.
