COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course is aimed at those involved in the handling of people’s information
as part of their day to day role.

This Course will provide a Data Protection (GDPR) overview for those looking to
gain more information on how to uphold the 6 principles. With this course
learners will understand the key principles and process under the regulation and
what their roles and responsibilities include.

In its early days, data protection compliance quickly became a key priority for
businesses, as the risk of large financial penalties for failing to introduce a
culture of greater data transparency were introduced.

Legislation has since given consumers more power than ever before over their
data. They now have the right to know how their data is used and stored, and for
how long. They also have the right to be deleted from marketing databases, and
businesses that fail to comply with any of these requests could find themselves
facing a fine of up to £17 million, or four per cent of annual turnover,
depending on which is greater.

It is vital that everyone who handles data as part of their job is aware of the
current legislation, and this is exactly what the Virtual College’s the
Essentials of Data Protection e-learning course is designed to help with.


WHY TAKE THIS COURSE?

It's important that everyone within a business is aware of the new data
protection rules and understands data protection compliance to ensure the
company is staying in line with the rules laid out by the Information
Commissioner's Office (ICO).

After completing our The Essentials of Data Protection course, learners will:

 * Understand what data is, and the different types of data
 * Recognise the six principles of data protection
 * Understand how to safely handle sensitive data
 * Understand the rights of data subjects
 * Know the responsibilities of the information commissioner


WHAT'S COVERED IN THIS DATA PROTECTION ONLINE COURSE?

Our online data protection training course has been made for anyone working with
personal data to ensure their and their employer's compliance.

Module What it includes What Personal Data is and the Different Types of
Personal Data This section in the course gives a visual representation of
different typical personal data that could be found in a workplace and explains
sensitive personal data and anonymous data. It also goes on to explain what a
data controller is and what they do and how data is processed in workplaces. The
Seven Principles of Data Protection (GDPR) The seven principles of data
protection are explained one by one with best practice examples of how they
would apply to workplaces.  How to Safely Handle Special Category Data Special
category data needs to handled differently to other data types, here the course
explains with visual examples how it needs to be stored. This section also
includes information on how to be vigilent with data, data security and IT
systems. The Rights of Data Subjects This section of the course explains the

and how to investigate data breaches. The Role of the Information Commissioner

WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?

The Essentials of Data Protection (GDPR) is designed for anyone who handles
personal information as part of their job. This could be recruitment
consultants, administrative assistants, marketing executives or managers of any
kind. Data handling and processing forms part of many roles, so our e-learning
course would be of benefit to many professionals.

This course is also suitable for those who want to understand how companies are
required to store personal data and the legal procedures for collecting personal
data. This Data Protection training will also explain consumer data rights,
including the six principles of data protection.

It is important to note that the content of this Data Protection (GDPR) training
is based around fictional characters, places, events, businesses and incidents.
Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events, is purely
coincidental.

mark of at least 75 per cent is required. Learners can have as many as six

After achieving a pass mark of 75 per cent, learners will be able to download
and print a Virtual College certificate for their records.


COURSE DURATION

The Essentials of Data Protection (GDPR) course should take one to two hours to
complete, but this depends on how quickly each individual absorbs the study
