Practitioner Certificate

Now delivered ONLINE

GDPR Practitioner Certificate

Our highly popular GDPR Practitioner Certificate is now available live online.

Delegates will receive all the fantastic features of our face to face course but in a live online learning environment accessible from anywhere in the world.

The content of the course and the live workshop style has been specifically adapted for online delivery. Delegates will have access to all the same great content in our Resource Lab (including 20 hours of videos) and a hard copy of all the materials, including our very popular and successful GDPR Handbook, will be sent to you in advance of the course.

Our expert trainer will be on hand throughout the course for questions and any additional support that may be required. Class sizes are 50% smaller than location-based courses so that delegates have a great opportunity for all the attention and support they need to get the best out of the course.

Structure

Four days of training split up in to three online sessions per day with slides, case studies and exercises. Each day concludes with one to one tutor support. On completion of the course, delegates are required to complete an online assessment and a practical project within 30 days.

The four teaching days are followed by an online assessment and a practical project to be completed within one month. The project will be independently marked by a GDPR expert and feedback given.

Please note this is an advanced course requiring some knowledge of the DPA and GDPR. If you do not have this we recommend you attend our one day GDPR workshop before booking.

What our clients say about us

    Frank made, what otherwise could be a subject people would switch off to, an experience that was light-hearted, yet challenging, but more importantly he never made you feel like you were giving the wrong answers!
    JW, Blackpool Teaching Hospitals

    The course was very informative and Scott Sammons was an excellent tutor.
    ST, People\'s Postcode Lottery

    Very useful course - really enjoyed it and didn\'t find the online format any barrier at all to learning. The technology enables us to interact with the speaker and other delegates as if we were all meeting in person. AH, Private Individual

    The speaker was excellent and clearly very knowledgeable in his field. One of the best webinars I have been on in a long time, made all the better by the live Q&A.
    ET, Private Individual

    Act Now can be relied upon to provide useful and comprehensive overviews of a topic in their webinars.
    PB, Private Individual

    Brilliant webinar - the trainer really broke down the training into bite size chunks which greatly helped with my understanding.
    BW, Nursing and Midwifery Council

    Excellent and informative training session I am looking forward to further sessions.
    CG, Futures Housing Group

    I found the online part of the course informative and worthwhile. The speaker maximised delegates' input, and gave feedback on our views which was helpful. The process of joining the online meetings was perfectly smooth and clear. NB, Bromsgrove District & Redditch Borough Councils

    I would recommend online as an option for this course. It was very interactive. There was always opportunity to ask questions and chat with other candidates. We had a bit of fun too which made it even better! RP, Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust
