Prepare for the CIPP/E examination with structured training on European privacy law, GDPR principles, rights, accountability, data transfers and practical exam strategy.
The CIPP/E Exam Preparation — Certified Information Privacy Professional (Europe) course provides structured preparation for learners developing their knowledge of European data protection law, privacy governance and practical GDPR application. It is designed to help candidates organise their study, reinforce important concepts and approach privacy-related exam questions with greater confidence.
The course begins by introducing the exam blueprint, the European foundations of privacy law, the GDPR mindset and the practical relationship between European privacy principles and UK practice. Learners then review essential data concepts, privacy roles, lawful bases and sensitive data before progressing to GDPR principles, privacy notices, individual rights and DSAR judgement.
Further modules explore accountability evidence, Records of Processing Activities, Data Protection Impact Assessments, vendor control, security duties, breach decisions, international transfer tools and regulatory enforcement. The final module applies this knowledge to HR monitoring, marketing and PECR, sector-specific scenarios and exam strategy.
By combining legal foundations, governance responsibilities, applied scenarios and exam-focused study skills, the course can support learners preparing for the CIPP/E examination or developing broader expertise in European privacy practice.

I found the course relevant and practical rather than just theoretical. The examples around GDPR concepts, legal bases and data-subject rights were the strongest part.
The scenarios felt realistic and made me think about how we currently work. Definitely useful for organising my CIPP/E exam preparation.
