This is the first time I am attending a course like this, so I have no standard to compare with, I can only say it is more than I expect and overall it is good. I do think the instructors are experts in what they teach. What I like best is the summary of all that went on in the class and all on one two sided page and it helps a great deal in terms of studies and exam.

In the online training, Celine is very clear in her explanation and uses a lot of real scenarios to help us understand the various concepts and framework. She even comes out with a mind map to help the participants in exam preparation. The course is very relevant especially the trainers used local and overseas examples to illustrate various concepts. Thanks so much for the tips in exam preparation. They are definitely very very useful.

Course Participant - November 2020

It’s applicable because it forms up a very good picture for me. I have been in banking for many years and exposed to many parts of it but with this class, I really see the connector.

Course Participant - Jan 2015

The certification will actually help us to come up with new solutions that we can provide to the customers. And secondly it will also build credibility so that when a customer talks to us, at least we can tell them that we are certified to do this.

Course Participant - Jan 2015

Very complete and informative. The case studies really help.

Edmund Koh

Content was well presented in terms of not only clarity but how the different parts of the content are interconnected & the interlinks for a good overall flow!! The case studies on the 3rd day were most useful to crystallise the principles but also to show how practical & relevant. Presenters were very knowledgeable and also very hands-on with their direct experience. They show expertise in their substance.

Peter Chua

Instructor is very well-versed in delivering the training; made the training very interesting and fun. Provided many useful notes.

Course Participant - January 2019

Relevant, precise and straight to the core for both theory and practical parts including role plays & group discussions involved. It was very fun and the trainers were friendly, proactive and engaging with the participants.

Dez Soh

The workshop content is very relevant and comprehensive in applications.

Course Participant - July 2016

Very enriching. It covers both theory & practical applications.

Koh Lin Yee

Very well done. I really appreciate the trainers' efforts. They had great knowledge in exam and real world knowledge. Keep up the good job.

David Wang
Associate Director

Very clear teaching and loved that it was more then just learning to pass a test!

Course Participant - August 2019

Very well organised and structured, classified into manageable portions.

Course Participant - March 2019

Noted that a lot of thought and effort has been put to develop the content and training materials. Trainer delivered the content with a lot of passion supported by knowledge in the field of Data Privacy & Protection.

Course Participant - January 2019

A very comprehensive training that was well coordinated and planned. I learnt there is a need to have a data privacy framework, baseline and metrics as well as audit/monitoring to show progress.

Helen Tiu
DPO

It was a wonderful 3-day training with a wealth of information provided in preparation for the certification exam. It is also good that we have been provided a mind map to prepare for the exam. That will definitely help me prepare for it. What I have learnt - CUDS-GAPSR. These provide already a general context of CIPM. Everything else is details.

Leo Rey Almero
Counsel and DPO

I enjoy online session more than in class session because the course is 3 days long. Online session allows me to do occasional stretching in the privacy of my home. I learnt that there are a lot of methods and process to develop privacy management programme, the acronym given helps a lot.

Jacinta Yeong

It was well planned and content was easy to understand. CIPM focuses on application of privacy into organisations and it is very different from other courses which taught about the theories and the obligations. It allows us to learn how to communicate to higher management in a language they understand.

Course Participant - September 2020

It was fulfilling and a fun learning experience. Very worth it to have enrolled to this course and invest. I love how much knowledge I have obtained in this workshop even if I'm on an online setting. Very relevant especially to my situation as a Compliance Officer for Privacy (COP) in which I could help our DPO to implement and test the efficiency of our Privacy Program deployed in the organization.

Course Participant - November 2020

Very informative and very well presented with constant reference to key concepts.

Paul Seow

The online 3 days CIPM course was very informative and lively with many real case studies and scenarios for us to relate to our materials. The course outline via mindmap notes really good!

Course Participant - November 2020

Attending the online CIPM training during this crisis is truly a breather. While fully delivered online, the training was interactive. I appreciate the most. Kevin's effort to engage everyone to participate in the discussions. Also, the sharing of thoughts among attendees adds value to the course.

Course Participant - June 2020

I perused several companies who provide similar workshops. After the course, I am convinced that I have correctly chosen to enroll with Straits. The team seems cohesive and works well together in providing the well-organized and structured workshop. One can tell the effort that went into the course. Every member of the team from the instructors to the guest speakers provided valuable inputs. Waimun was also responsive to my inquiries prior to enrolling in the course which was appreciated.

Angela de Guzman
Business Immigration Manager

I thought the program was well conducted. Very engaging with real-life cases.

Course Participant - September 2020

Very experienced and qualified resource persons. I learnt how I should operationalize privacy and that it is beyond legal compliance.

Rex Celiz
Legal & Corporate Governance

I felt that the online experience was very good. Almost at good as face to face class. What was good was the ability to poll feedback and get answers to questions. The online breakout sessions as well as discussion were also useful.

Course Participant - September 2020

Very good experience. The course was conducted in a very interactive manner which allowed participants to stay focused and follow the training even if thousands of kilometres away from the trainer. I now have a better understanding on the Data Privacy Framework, mostly the Governance part which is well structured under CIPM. The topics discussed were totally relevant with the body of knowledge and enables better understanding on expectations for the exams.

Vikash Lalsing
Director - Ascentrix Consulting Ltd - Mauritius

I have gained very practical and comprehensive knowledge on how to create a data privacy program for my organisation. Participation and interactions by the classmates also help to bring the subject matter alive and not just purely on theory.

Phoebe Chow
Data Protection Officer and Regional Compliance Officer

Fantastic online experience. Very enriching and in depth lively discussion. One thing I learnt was the GDPR impact. The course was well run and nicely spaced out. Trainers were very knowledgeable and fantastic in presentation

Louis Tan

It was great. The trainers are very knowledgeable and very accommodating. Considering that I used to lead privacy compliance projects before and am now occupying the position of a DPO, the insights they've shared will be very valuable in my own work. I liked the very practical approach to the course. It doesn't just prepare you for the exam. It also provides you with practical guidance on how to apply what you've learned to your own organization.

Roberto Miguel O. Raneses
Data Protection Officer

The training offered many real-life scenarios and invited participants to share from their varied backgrounds (e.g. information security, legal, compliance etc). I found it very useful and practical for my learning.

Course Participant - June 2020

Workshop is highly engaging. Trainers are knowledgeable and participants are enthusiastic.

Andrew Loh

The course, delivery and speakers are great. As a consultant, this course has taught me to structure the implementation and management of Data Privacy Program.

Jane Barrido

As an employee involved in an industry handling various personal data, the workshop has made PRIVACY and SECURITY easier to understand in every angle.
