About the course
What this course covers
The Certified Information Privacy Professional/Europe (CIPP/E) from the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) shows mastery of European data protection law, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It is a common requirement for privacy, legal and compliance roles in companies that handle European personal data.
This 16-hour live online course covers the sources of European data protection law, the structure of the GDPR, key definitions and principles, lawful bases, data subject rights, controller and processor duties, security and breach notification, international transfers, supervisory authorities and enforcement, and related instruments such as the ePrivacy rules. We also touch on developments such as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and the EU AI Act where they affect privacy practice.
For learners in India, we include a short comparison with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act so you can work across both regimes. The course is exam-oriented but built around practical compliance decisions.

No. Many candidates are IT, security or compliance professionals. Comfort with reading regulations is enough.

IAPP uses a scaled score from 100 to 500, and 300 is required to pass.
Q.How do I book the exam?

Q.How long should I study after the 16-hour course?

Q.How do I renew CIPP/E?
