Frequently Asked Questions

GDPR does not mandate one named course for everyone. Article 39 includes staff training among certain DPO responsibilities. Organisations should match training with roles and processing risks. 

GDPR specifies no universal annual refresher interval. Refresh training after important legal or operational changes. Incidents and role changes can also justify refreshers. 

Yes. This course provides flexible, self-paced online learning. Employees can study around normal workplace responsibilities.

Staff should follow internal incident procedures immediately. Controllers then assess required supervisory notifications. Relevant notifications may require action within 72 hours. 

A DPIA is required for likely high-risk processing. It evaluates privacy risks before relevant processing begins. AEPD provides Spain-specific guidance for these assessments. 

No. It supports GDPR and LOPDGDD knowledge for workplace use. DPO selection requires appropriate professional knowledge and expertise. Completion does not create regulated professional status.
