Course Curriculum
The detailed curriculum outline of our GDPR Training Level 2 is as follows:
Start with the foundations of GDPR and why data protection rules matter when organisations collect and use personal information. Learners explore key terminology, legal context, supervisory authorities, territorial scope, and links with other data protection laws.
This section focuses on the core principles that guide responsible processing of personal data. Learners examine lawfulness, fairness, transparency, purpose limitation, data minimisation, accuracy, storage limitation, integrity, confidentiality, and accountability.
Understanding what individuals can ask of an organisation is central to good data protection practice. Learners look at access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, portability, the right to be informed, and handling subject access requests.
GDPR responsibilities become clearer when connected to everyday workplace situations. Learners consider common mistakes, risk-based compliance, safe handling of personal data, email and online data, insider threats, and potential enforcement consequences.
Good data protection depends on more than policies; it also requires consistent behaviour across an organisation. This module covers data governance, employee responsibilities, record keeping, transparency, stakeholder trust, and the value of ongoing awareness training.
