Course contents
This training course is broken down into 2 sections
- 1Background
- 2The Regulation
Section 1
Processing Personal Data is what the General Data Protection Regulation is all about. So, it’s important that your employees know what it’s referring to. In this section of our online GDPR course, we provide some background information that you need to know about the GDPR, including personal data; processing; controllers, processors, and data subjects; and the Information Commissioner's Office.
Section 2
The Principles of the GDPR embody the spirit of the Regulation and so it’s important that your employees are familiar with them. Following them is essential and failing to do so can result in some of the harshest fines allowed under the Regulation. There are 7 principles in total that we cover in this GDPR training section.
About this course
Now that the UK’s transition period (from leaving the EU) has ended, the EU GDPR has been brought into UK law and sits alongside other data protection laws and regulations.
Our GDPR Training provides employees with an understanding of their duties and responsibilities when it comes to processing personal data under the GDPR in the UK. This training course provides an in-depth look into the GDPR in the UK, building on the content of our GDPR EU Essentials course.
The General Data Protection Regulation has brought together years of different laws and regulations and combines them into a single technology-neutral piece of legislation which will form the foundation of data protection law for years to come.
Our GDPR training is aimed at staff who need to follow the rules and policies that are laid out by the GDPR. In this GDPR course, staff will learn about personal data, the principles of the GDPR, individual rights and will use some scenario-based learning.

Great
Ive been in pain with toothache can not believe its taken me this long to achieve a pass
The course was a bit long but informative.
Informative and important but felt the course took to long to cover.
Informative session with useful reminders of GDPR
The session was informative and did not take long to complete. It was a good reminder about the GDPR processes and how individuals work to them as well as the policies, procedures and ways of working are in place within the organisation.
Necessary but not easy to take all on board
Perhaps my age (78) is against me but I did find this difficult to access, to understand easily and to complete. I made the mistake of closing before getting to the test (the text did suggest that I had completed the course) and didn't realise this until my BTO manager asked for my certificate. I found it quite difficult to get back in but did eventually complete and scored 93% – not bad for a 78 year old!
Particularly like the looking after the dog to emphasise the approach to data control/handling

Why is this training important?
Compliance
It’s important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.
In May 2018, the EU GDPR came into effect. At the same time, the UK also introduced a new Data Protection Act. This sat alongside the GDPR and set out certain provisions which the GDPR allowed countries to decide for themselves.
On 31st January 2020, the UK enacted the Withdrawal Agreement which, among other things, signalled the UK’s exit from the EU and entry into a transition period. During the transition period, all EU laws, including the GDPR, continued to apply. However, to avoid any problems at the end of the transition period, the Agreement also introduced the UK GDPR. This was a combination of the EU GDPR and the Data Protection Act which tweaked the European Regulation to make it relevant to the UK. During the transition period, both the EU and UK GDPR were in effect in the UK until the end of the transition when just the UK GDPR remained.
Today, both GDPRs are in effect in their own areas; the EU GDPR across the European Union and the wider European Economic Area and the UK GDPR in the UK.
