At a Glance: Why We're Replacing Older Courses
Here's just a quick rundown of why we're updating our legacy data protection titles...
| DPA 1998 | GDPR Essentials | GDPR for Managers | General Data Protection |
| Out of date as no reference to new legislation under GDPR | GDPR Essentials was designed to introduce learners to the GDPR and refers to it in the future tense. | Designed for senior managers who are responsible for implementing organisational changes to be ready for 25th May 2018. It is assumed that these activities will have been completed by this date. |
This course is in the present tense and amalgamates relevant information from the aforementioned courses. This is achieved through the practical application of principles, subject’s rights, and organisational obligations; as specified in data protection regulation. We have also included CTAs for users such as finding out internal processes and procedures that relate to data protection. |
The course will be available to all customers from this month (May 2018). It is recommended that you make plans for replacing the existing titles (Data Protection Act, GDPR Essentials and GDPR Managers) with the new ‘ General Data Protection’ course, in pathways for new and existing users.
How Do I Get This Course?
We will be archiving the existing suite (Data Protection Act, GDPR Essentials and GDPR Managers) from 1 st June 2018. Although these will be archived, they will remain in existing pathways and also in learners' ‘My Training Activities’ until either completed by the user or cancelled by Access Group LMS administrators. Where learners have already completed these courses, the CPD achieved will remain.
