Why this exists
Most GDPR training is written for people who already know GDPR. The Academy is different.
Written and presented by a jargon free GDPR expert, this answers the real questions that come up repeatedly.
Answers in minutes
Every lesson takes one real question and answers it. No preamble, no recap of the last lesson, no filler to pad a runtime.
Plain English
If a term has to be used it gets explained once, in the way a person would actually say it. Nothing is left as jargon.
Built from real cases
The curriculum comes from the questions clients genuinely ask in when dealing with GDPR. Disciplinary DSARs, AI note-takers, retention periods, EU reps - nothing is left uncovered.
Certificates that verify
Finish a course and the certificate issues automatically, prove how many hours you have spent on your learning.
Works for a whole team
Individual logins, individual progress, individual certificates - so you can evidence who was trained and when.
Europe and the UK
Different regulatory bodies but shared principles taught together, and the divergences called out where they matter & how it will affect your business.
Made for real work
Built to be watched between meetings, not booked as a day off.
Not everybody has a spare afternoon for compliance. Every lesson is a single question answered in a couple of minutes, so it fits in the gap before your next call rather than needing a slot in the calendar. Have a burning issue? find the answer in minutes, then flesh out your knowledge so you are better prepared for future incidents.
Come back to any lesson later. Most people use the courses once to learn the subject and then again as a reference the day a GDPR issue lands on the desk.

Questions
Before you start
Is this Irish or UK law?+
Both. The GDPR applies across the EU and the UK has its own near-identical UK GDPR, so some principles are shared. Where the two diverge for example supervisory authority, representatives, transfers we say so. Within the course there is a separate UK GDPR module for those based in or working closely with the UK.
Do I need a legal background?+
No. Every lesson answers one real question in plain English, in a few minutes. There is also a glossary to follow and if you're really stuck you can answer any questions in our members only forum.
How long does a course take?+
Most lessons run two to five minutes and courses are built from a handful of them. You can finish a full course in a lunch break or take your time over it and read the downloads, rewatch videos, notetake and then check learning with a quiz.
Do I get a certificate?+
Yes. Complete a course and your certificate is issued automatically, with a verification code anyone can check against this site.
Can I train my whole team?+
Yes - that is what the business subscription plan is for. Everyone gets their own login, their own progress and their own certificate, so you can show who was trained and when.
