Description

CIPP/E is a title from the IAPP (International Association of Privacy Professionals) and is regarded as the European standard in the field of privacy certification. With a CIPP certification, you demonstrate knowledge of both global and specific regional laws and regulations in privacy and data protection. This not only distinguishes you from other professionals but also shows your organization's commitment to these important themes for customers.

The CIPP/E training is fully aligned with the European Privacy Regulation GDPR / AVG. In addition, we cover current themes and case law as well as the Dutch situation (Dutch Data Protection Authority, Data Breach Notification Duty) in the course.

In the training, we focus on global privacy and data protection principles and approaches, as well as themes such as online privacy, types of data, and jurisdiction, but the emphasis is on the European context and local laws and regulations. Current topics such as responsibly handling the provision of sensitive personal data to, for example, the United States, Cloud Computing, AI, and social networks are also addressed. 

Previously, it was only possible to attend a CIPP/E training at annual IAPP conferences; TSTC has been offering this training since 2014 as the first provider according to an open schedule.
In addition to more flexibility, the main advantages are a smaller group size with more room for interaction and the guarantee of a very experienced Dutch-speaking trainer who is knowledgeable about the local Dutch privacy situation.

After the training, you can take an exam using a provided voucher to obtain the internationally recognized CIPP/E title. Exams can be taken at a time of your choice at various locations in the Netherlands.

As a possible follow-up, the CIPM and CIPT trainings further delve into operationalizing the legal framework on privacy management and technical areas. Also, ask about our privacy bundles where you can combine the CIPP/E and CIPM trainings at a reduced rate. 

 

 

Working method

We deviate from the regular CIPP/E training by starting with a short, guided self-study period on our exclusive MyTSTC learning platform prior to the classroom training. In this, you will receive an assessment test and tailored material (including videos) that prepares you for the intensive training. With this approach, we reduce differences in levels among participants and spread the self-study mentioned by IAPP (30 hours) over a part before and after the training. In this context, you will also be further guided online towards the exam via our platform after the training.

This training is classroom-based but can also be attended Live Online if desired. You will then follow the training live remotely with our own instructor, view the slides and notes on the whiteboard, and can ask questions to both the trainer and your fellow participants. Essentially, it’s just like being present at the classroom training, but from your own location. If the Live Online training does not meet your expectations, you may attend the classroom training again free of charge within a year.

Certification

This training is a preparation for the included CIPP/E exam, which allows you to obtain the internationally recognized CIPP/E certification from IAPP. After the training, you will independently schedule the exam using the exam voucher that we will place directly in a new or existing MyIAPP account. You can take the exam at one of the exam locations (including with us in Veenendaal) or from home, where a proctor will monitor you via your webcam.

Frequently Asked Questions

This depends on your personal situation and background. If you want to get certified and already have a legal background, then CIPP/E is the right starting point. If certification is not important, then the 1-day GDPR workshop is an alternative. This workshop is also suitable as a first step towards CIPP/E if you are very unsure about the amount of legal content that CIPP/E contains, but ultimately do want to get certified.

A CIPP/E training or certification is not mandatory for participation in CIPM, but it is advisable. In the CIPP/E training, you learn all the ins and outs of the GDPR, while in CIPM (where you will give practical application to the legal framework), there is little to no time for that. Without CIPP/E knowledge, you may miss the reasoning behind a certain measure in CIPM. The CIPM training delves deeper into the how of privacy, specifically about embedding the GDPR in an organization using privacy management. We offer the combination of CIPP/E + CIPM at a reduced bundle rate when you register for both trainings at the same time and complete them within a year with us. You do not need to determine the timing of your participation in CIPM immediately, but for example, only after you have passed CIPP/E.

IAPP indicates that in addition to the two classroom days, you should also account for about 30 hours of self-study. Of course, this varies by person and, for example, more or less experience in the field can lead to a longer or shorter study period. At TSTC, you determine how to distribute this period before and after the training. The required self-study on our MyTSTC platform takes no more than five hours, but you are free to read more so that you can bring more targeted questions to the training and/or take the exam faster afterward. We advise you to practice with the included exam practice questions after the training before taking the exam. This will familiarize you somewhat with the type of questions and help you identify any weaknesses before you take the exam.

Yes, roughly IAPP sets two conditions: 1. Remain an IAPP member or pay the certification maintenance fee every two years. This fee is already included in the membership. 2. Meet the Continuing Professional Education (CPE) requirement, which demonstrates that you remain actively engaged in acquiring current privacy knowledge each year.
