This course is for anyone handling customer data, whether you work with customers in person, over the phone, or through digital or paper correspondence. You don’t need any previous experience.

Start your review of Introduction to GDPR: General Data Protection Regulation

  • A handy beginner course for those who need to know about GDPR. Explains why many of the provisions are there and includes some examples of how data breaches can occur either by mistake or by blatantly ignoring regulations. All material except the final quiz was available for free.

    I found the course to be quite supervicial. There was much text, little video and not much interaction. You where asked to write comments on the material, but there was no interaction. I learned as much as expected from reading an introduction chapter or article.
  • Explains the concepts in GDPR more clearly than another online course I took. Some exercises require rather more memorising of details than I expected. Generally a good introduction to essential ideas in GDPR.
