Summary

The move from the old German Federal Data Protection Act to the GDPR left a good deal of uncertainty behind, and many companies struggle to put it into practice. That is why BREDEX offers you the chance to train as a specialist in data protection.

Our teachers are certified, experienced data protection officers. The seminar covers the law on data protection and the work of a company data protection officer in practice: records of processing activities, data protection impact assessments, the knowledge the GDPR's “technical and organisational measures” call for, and everything else that follows from its requirements.

Topics covered

  • An introduction to the laws that bear on data protection
  • The GDPR: what its articles are for, the definitions and the recitals
  • The new German Federal Data Protection Act and how it relates to the GDPR: what the law is for
  • The company data protection officer in practice: what is required, what the job involves, what the duties are
  • Processing activities
  • Data protection impact assessments
  • Duties to document
  • Data protection and IT security: the technical and organisational measures of the GDPR, what a data protection officer has to do about IT security and the BSI IT-Grundschutz catalogue, and how to carry those measures out
  • A summary of the basic training, answers to your questions, and preparation for the exam

Learning objectives

After completing the course you will be able to …

  • you know data protection thoroughly and can put that knowledge to work in your company.
  • you are prepared for the DEKRA examination.

FAQs

Do you also offer in-house training?

Yes — we are happy to plan your own in-house course with you.

Are the costs of a course with you covered by the Federal Employment Agency?

No, BREDEX is not certified for that.

Can I redeem an education voucher with you?

No, BREDEX is not certified for that.

Where do I find your terms and conditions?

After booking you receive a confirmation with a link to the terms and conditions. You can also find them at the very bottom of the BREDEX Academy website.

Do you also offer the courses online?

Yes, as a rule we offer every course online or remote as well. On the BREDEX website you can see whether your course is offered online on the date you want — it is marked as an online course there. If your date is not available online, simply write to us at weiterbildung@bredex.de.

How does an online course work?

Whether it is facilitating a retrospective, a technical course or a design thinking workshop — our experts guide you remotely at the same quality. Despite the physical distance we put great weight on interaction, lively conversation and a variety of methods. You can see what that looks like in this short video.

Does the software for programming courses have to be installed beforehand for an online course?

We offer every one of our programming courses remotely as online training too — at the same quality. All you need is a device with an internet connection and, ideally, a headset and a camera.
The software a programming course normally needs (the development environment, installed language packages such as Java 8 and the like) does not have to be installed by participants beforehand.
During the course you simply open your browser again and follow our link to the virtual machine. That is a virtual computer running on a host system: a sealed-off environment in which several operating systems of an independent guest system can run side by side on one physical machine. Put simply, another (virtual) computer that you operate from your own. Nothing you do there has any effect on your own device. This way you can reach every piece of software and every tool the course needs and start programming right away — without having to take care of anything before or during the course.
