Certified Data Governance Practitioner – Be the Preferred and Accredited Data Governance Practitioner 

In today's rapid world of digitalisation and digital transformation, the role of a Data Protection Officer (DPO), Data Governance Officer (DGO), and Compliance Officer (CO), has become increasingly important. Not only do they have to look at regulatory requirements but also take a practical approach to value-add to the organisation. This is done by increasing the value of data assets through the implementation of data protection, and compliance management programmes and systems, while taking into consideration a wide array of business practices, risks management and compliance concerns.

This certification programme is designed for DPOs, DGOs, Compliance officers and professionals who are looking to get recognition as a preferred and certified practitioner in data governance management.

This programme aims to provide participants with the knowledge and tools to implement data governance systems in the organisation. It is also an opportunity for participants to gain hands-on experience through project work.
