What topics are covered across the four course days?

Day 1 covers GDPR concepts and principles. Days 2 to 4 cover DPO designation and program analysis, DPO operations, and monitoring with continual improvement.

The four-day structure is organized to move from fundamentals into implementation and then into ongoing oversight, reflecting how GDPR compliance is built and maintained.

Day 1 establishes the baseline. The course opens with objectives and structure, then covers the General Data Protection Regulation and the core considerations that shape compliance decisions. This day is designed to align participants on the vocabulary, scope, and expectations that will be applied later.

Day 2 shifts into governance and program setup. Topics include DPO designation, analysis of the GDPR compliance program, working relationships with top management, a data protection policy, the register of processing activities, and a risk management process. The emphasis is on building a framework the organization can operate consistently.

Day 3 addresses day-to-day DPO work. It includes data protection impact assessments, documentation management, evaluation of data protection controls, and how data protection connects to technology choices. It also covers awareness, training, and communication as ongoing responsibilities that support compliance.

Day 4 focuses on keeping the program effective over time. The agenda includes incident management and personal data breaches, monitoring and measuring compliance, internal audit, treatment of nonconformities, and continual improvement before closing the course. These elements are central to accountability because they produce evidence and corrective actions.

Across all four days, the stated training approach combines theory and practice with examples based on real cases and practical exercises based on a full case study. Review exercises and a practice test are included to support exam preparation.

Expert Insight

Four-day courses can feel dense unless you treat them as a workflow. Track which artifacts and decisions each day supports: principles on day one, governance and records on day two, DPIAs and control evaluation on day three, then monitoring and nonconformities on day four. If you connect topics to outputs, you leave with a practical method rather than a list of terms.

During exam preparation, revisit the day structure and map each domain to the relevant course day. That makes it easier to see gaps and prioritize revision efficiently.

The structure follows build, operate, and improve.
