In the UK, data breaches affect thousands of organisations annually, with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) issuing fines totaling over £200 million in recent years for GDPR violations. As businesses increasingly rely on digital systems and handle sensitive personal data, understanding data protection and security has become critical for compliance and organisational trust.

The UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) - CPD Certified course provides a comprehensive foundation in data protection principles and UK GDPR requirements. Covering topics such as lawful bases for processing, handling sensitive data, breach management, and post-Brexit compliance, this course equips learners with the knowledge to manage personal and organisational data responsibly.

You will also explore international data transfers, updates to GDPR regulations, and strategies for maintaining robust data security in national security, defence, and corporate environments. This course ensures learners understand both legal obligations and practical measures to protect data effectively.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
