Why You Should Take Canadian Privacy Training

Canada’s distinctive federal/provincial/territorial data privacy governance systems closely regulate the collection and use of personal information. Canadian Privacy Training, the principal course for CIPP/C certification, enables privacy professionals to understand the interplay between different tiers of laws and regulations and help their organizations avoid regulatory penalties and damage to their reputations.

Who Should Train

Privacy professionals who manage or work within Canadian compliance frameworks; oversee data collection, processing and storage operations; and are working toward CIPP/C certification.

What You Will Learn

Canadian Privacy Training, the training aligned with CIPP/C certification, teaches the legal foundations of Canadian privacy, public- and private- sector practices, relevant international privacy laws such as the GDPR, and security practices that relate to privacy.

Beware of Unauthorized Trainers

If you are considering training with a company that is not the IAPP or an IAPP Official Training Partner, be careful. Unauthorized trainers often guarantee – erroneously – you will pass the exam and may wrongfully claim to be authorized by the IAPP and/or use our logo and official seal illegally. To see if a trainer is authorized, view our list of IAPP Official Training Partners worldwide. If the training company is not on our list, you risk being duped out of your time and money and being less prepared for your exam.
