INTAKE INFORMATION

COURSEDATES
INTAKE 1308 - 10 Jan 2025 [Open for Registration]
Mode of Delivery: Online

*Online registration will close 5 calendar days before the course start date or once the maximum class size is met, whichever comes first.


Developed in collaboration with the law firms, Bird and Bird, Field Fisher, Wilson/Sonsini and Covington and Burling, the CIPP/E encompasses pan-European and national data protection laws, key privacy terminology and practical concepts concerning the protection of personal data and trans-border data flows.

With the power of ANSI/ISO accreditation behind it, an IAPP - CIPP/E credential elevates your professional profile by deepening your knowledge and improving your job effectiveness. We constantly update our certification exams, textbooks and training to reflect the latest advances in privacy. The CIPP/E includes critical topics like Schrems II and the GDPR.

GDPR training? The IAPP is the place.

The GDPR includes among its mandates the requirement to appoint knowledgeable DPOs (data protection officers) tasked with monitoring compliance, managing internal data protection activities, training data processing staff, conducting internal audits and more. There’s a lot to know, there’s a lot at stake and there’s a lot of opportunity for privacy professionals with the right training and education.

Achieving a CIPP/E credential shows you have the comprehensive GDPR knowledge, perspective and understanding to ensure compliance and data protection success in Europe—and to take advantage of the career opportunity this sweeping legislation represents.

Add a CIPM credential to the CIPP/E and you’ll be uniquely equipped to fulfil the DPO requirements of the GDPR. The CIPP/E relates to the knowledge a DPO must have concerning the European legal framework of the legislation, and the CIPM the theoretical aspects necessary to lead an organisation’s data protection efforts.

Participants who wish to sit for the examination offered by IAPP can purchase a one-time exam voucher at a special rate directly from Straits Interactive. Please refer to Fee/Funding tab for more details.

Testimonials

I enjoyed the practical example and case study discussions. The atmosphere of the workshop was relaxed and friendly. Learning was conducive. I liked the interactive nature of the workshop.

Renshao

The combination of two perspectives was great. Both legal & operational aspects were successfully blended into an understandable synopsis fit for everyone. Instructors were very passionate.

Course participant - November 2018

Course content was up to date and with very reliable resources. Not only based on historical cases but also from real life experiences.

Course participant - November 2018

The CIPP/E workshop is very useful and relevant. Instructors are equipped with the expertise to put knowledge into context. Glad to have attended the workshop in person. Wouldn't have been able to grasp it just by reading the book alone.

Sam

Very useful for business application from examples given. Good clarity from examples and cases provided and trainers have prepared extensively for the course.

Yuri See

Kevin and Lyn use real life examples to teach this programme. He puts theory into practice. An excellent programme!

Vernon (Malaysia)

Straits Interactive is the "Go-To" place to obtain IAPP certification. The instructors are engaging with theoretical and practical knowledge. Best practices are shares. So, not only do you gain book knowledge but practical knowledge too!

Kenneth Ong
Consultant

Very comprehensive and helpful especially the discussion on the different European institutions. There were a lot of scenarios and real cases which helped me better understand the application of the GDPR. Kevin & Lyn are definitely experts on data protection considering all the knowledge & experiences they have shared. Discussion was lively, I enjoyed it very much!

Ann Elmedolan

The tips & mock exams helped prepare us for the certification exam. The speakers are knowledgeable about the topic from both legal and operational perspective.

Great 3 days of learning with practical advice and tips from Kevin and Lyn on GDPR. Many thanks for all your preparations and sharing. I would highly recommend Straits Interactive's training to all interested in getting to grips with Data Protection laws in Asia and other regions. Kevin is an excellent and passionate trainer with deep knowledge of data protection laws. Lyn contributed greatly to the legal aspect and helped us understand GDPR through sharing practical tips. Thank you for your generous sharing and I wish you the very best in continuing to increase practioners/DPOs' knowledge of data protection laws in Asia.

Eunice Mah
Legal Director, S.E.A

It is very good! I have learned a lot and the lessons are not just read from the slides. The trainers 'humanize' the lessons and do a lot of applications.

Course Participant - September 2020

The training is very helpful and informative. It explained topics that needed clarification and further details. I learned valuable information on cross boarder transfers which is a concept not embodied in the Data Privacy Act of the Philippines. In addition, I also learnt about the history of the GDPR and how it came to be.

Krishna Aira Tana-Caguia
Lawyer

As an online participant, the connection was clear and minimal technical difficulties encountered. I learnt the application and interpretation of GDPR in practice. The instructor’s explanation was clear and examples were very relevant. The legal side of the course was explained clearly with examples that were very relevant and interesting.

Amor G. Venenoso
Attorney

I found the training very informative and useful. Particularly, kudos to the trainers as they were very energetic and engaging which helped in keeping the training session interesting.

Course Participant - September 2020

I liked that the training was well-balanced. The concepts were presented alongside practical anecdotes and real-life scenarios. I was able to learn the interplay of the various privacy resources (i.e. GDPR, Convention 108, European Union Directive).

Anna Benjieline Puzon
Attorney

The online classes were on point, it's as good having the face to face classes. I really enjoyed the practical analysis of cases and how engaging the discussion was. The relevance of the discussion was on point, within the scope and can gain real-world insights even on hypothetical scenarios.

Course participant - September 2020

Very informative, insightful, invaluable inputs especially with case scenarios. The speakers are knowledgeable and experts in the field.

Jeremy O. Panganiban
Attorney

The training was very insightful and helpful. The content is comprehensive and very informative . Every topic discussed was very relevant for the purposes of understanding European data protection.

Pierre Martin D. Reyes
Managing Partner

It was excellent i.e. as good as physical training. Very insightful and relevant to my work in contract negotiations, doing PIA and training colleagues.

Bee Ghee Ong
APAC IT Legal Counsel

This online learning experience works out extremely well. The whole experience is very smooth and efficient. Excellent content, with very useful additional detailed notes inserted as well as the cheatsheets! Very much appreciated! Kevin is extremely enthusiastic apart from being a domain expert! Lyn is very knowledgeable not only in the law but also her practical knowledge.

Png Seok Hooi
Regulatory Advisory Compliance

Very glad that I was able to attend this online training, every information related to the subject matter was relayed in a very clear and reliable manner. The class is really a new type of experience as someone who is very used to a classroom set up and it is surprisingly interactive and engagement is really active and lively. As new in studying about the GDPR the training is very helpful in a lot of ways. Kevin is very lively and has the way beyond excellent knowledge about the subject which made me understand more. Thank you! :) Lyn is a very vital instructor in this training in helping me understand more about the subject matter. 3 days has been very brain shaking training but i got a better understanding of the subject more than when i was just reading about GDPR.

Marie Ann
Executive Assistant/Office Coordinator

The workshop content was well substantiated with many practical examples.

Course Participant - May 2020

Great (and smooth!) delivery of the training even though it's done through a webinar. Interactive with solid examples provided, and thank you for all the tips!

Course Participant - May 2020

The course is great. I’m much more confident performing my DPO role.

Course Participant - February 2020

The online experience was good overall and the trainers were very engaging. I have learned some new things today. The majority of the things that were discussed are already being practiced in our company. I think it was a good training where I had the opportunity to check what we are missing in our company.

Ricardo Apolinario
Country Privacy Lead (PH)

Kevin and Lyn are great trainers as they bring loads of experience to the table. This makes the dry lessons very relatable.

Daniel Yap
Chief Compliance Officer, TeleMedC PTE. LTD

Good overview which helps lay a good groundwork for the CIPPE exams. Instructors were engaging, clear and experts in the field.

Course participant - March 2021

I liked the way the workshop was run despite online in the way that 1) the interaction between the 2 instructors made it lively and very good rapport is seen, 2) questions are answered real time via chat function, 3) able to address questions individually during break time despite online had made us not feel that we missed out on social interaction (physical training) 4) detailed admin instructions given eg on zoom, iapp registration, citrep funding etc.

Kerlyn

I enjoyed the practical example and case study discussions. The atmosphere of the workshop was relaxed and friendly. Learning was conducive. I liked the interactive nature of the workshop.

Renshao
